TEC CEO Chair
Etobicoke / Southwestern Ontario
Hello!
A Little Bit About Me
In my role as a TEC Chair, I have come to understand that the business landscape is too complex and dynamic for any individual to have all the answers all the time.
For 30 years, I have climbed the ranks through nine different businesses, ultimately reaching the position of Chairman and CEO. My journey included invaluable experiences at renowned companies such as Proctor & Gamble, Apple, and Esso, where I honed my leadership and business- building skills across diverse industries, from blue-chip organizations to entrepreneurial ventures.
My passion for growth and success are evident in the successful turnaround of The Movie Network and my leadership of a new operating division for a Canadian food service company, where I grew revenues to $70 million in five years before selling it for nearly 30 times EBITDA. Having experienced firsthand the challenges that come with leading and growing a business, I can resonate profoundly with TEC’s vision of bringing fellow CEOs together to support each other. Having experienced both success and failure, I recognize the strength of the peer advisory model in providing support to fellow CEOs.
On a personal note, I am a proud native of Toronto, married with four children. I have received the Imperial Oil Chairman’s Award and have achieved three Top 15 finishes at the U.S. Amateur Snowboard National Championships.

Group Vision
It takes someone who knows what the job is truly about – and who has experienced the success and failure that comes with it – to be a strong ‘wingman’ for fellow CEOs. That’s why the TEC peer advisory model is so powerful.
