HUGO and Company is Hiring:
Business Development | Toronto, ON
HUGO and Company is a full-service senior transition management company specializing in supporting older adults, including moves involving dementia care.
We combine thoughtful design, strategic organization, and deep empathy to recreate home in a way that feels personal, familiar, and meaningful. Our work extends far beyond moving.
