WHO IS ANAIS?

I'm Anaïs-Monica McKay, the optimistic and collectively ambitious person behind McKay & Co. I created my company in the midst of the pandemic, with the deep intention of participating in the cultural and structural changes that were taking place in society.

I wanted to contribute to the creation of a sustainable ecosystem, capable of supporting the agents of change and social innovators of today, and those of the next generation. My value proposition, collaborative innovation, could only be more in line with the new challenges and opportunities created by this crisis.
