Chair Profile: Janet Davie

Professional

Janet Davie brings a unique mixture of academic and practical knowledge to her role as a senior financial executive and coach. Her extensive experience in the C-Suite has provided her with a deep breadth and depth of problem-solving ability; when combined with her uncanny ability to quickly diagnose the culture of an organization, it’s no wonder many who have worked with her describe her as an executive and coach who “just gets it.”

Janet’s business education began with answering phones at her first job. A Certified Management Accountant, she enjoys working with people as much as she likes working with numbers. Janet has held leadership positions, including Controller, in a variety of industries, from construction and trucking to manufacturing as well as the food processing industry. Although her roles have always drawn on her strategic financial expertise, she has also been called upon to establish systems, undertake change management and build leadership teams.

Most recently, Janet began her own executive coaching practice after becoming a certified Executive Coach. Now she is building on that strong foundation by leading her own TEC group, where her focus is on helping business leaders realize their vision through strategic thinking and engaging leadership.

TEC Group Vision

Janet’s diverse background and forward-focused, dynamic approach is a perfect fit for action-oriented entrepreneurs open to new ways of thinking and are looking to be challenged while having fun, participating fully and honestly, and celebrating accomplishments.
