Katherine Crewe

My career began in operations and quality management, and I quickly advanced into senior Vice President and Site Director roles. Over 30 years, I have led large-scale operational transformations by aligning corporate objectives, clearly communicating vision, and executing disciplined plans that deliver measurable results. 

I hold a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering from McMaster University and a degree in Chemical Engineering from Queen’s University. I also hold an Institute of Corporate Directors designation and have been recognized as a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, grounding my leadership in both operational excellence and governance discipline.

As a TEC Chair, I bring structure, clarity, and rigor to the room. With over 10 years of experience and having earned Chair Excellence and Master Chair designations, along with the Red Shoe Award, my groups experience structured problem-solving, diverse expert speakers, and true peer accountability — the kind that drives real execution, not just conversation.

Outside of work, I live in Quebec with my husband and three children. I’ve been honoured as one of the Top 100 Businesswomen in Quebec by Entreprendre Magazine, recognized by the West Island Chamber of Commerce for Manufacturing, and awarded the Order of Honour from the Professional Engineers of Ontario. 

My TEC Group Vision

“The power of my TEC group lies in structured thinking, disciplined execution, and accountability that produces measurable results.”

FAQ

TEC Canada is a leadership development organization that empowers and supports business leaders who in turn run successful companies and organizations, the backbone of Canada. We aim to build a community of trust and growth where we lift one another to reach goals and overcome obstacles.

The challenges facing Canadian business leaders are increasingly complex. It’s easy to feel overloaded with information, stretched and alone. Leaders are looking for a safe harbour where they can receive advice and support. TEC provides deeper insights that can make a real impact in your business, your career, and your life.

TEC offers six different types of peer advisory groups, each purpose-built for unique leadership levels, including CEOs, key executives, business owners and emerging leaders. We take great care to match you to the right peer group by considering your organizational size, stage of development and competitive landscape.

Leadership development programs aim to help business leaders navigate the challenges and complexities of running a business while aiding their growth as individuals and team leaders. We believe that learning is a lifelong pursuit, with no real end point. The benefits of joining one of our programs extend as far as you’re willing to take them. We focus on supporting members to grow in five specific ways:

  1. Helping business leaders make informed decisions in the high-stakes, fast-paced environment of business, maximizing their ROI and revenue, and enhancing their workplace culture.
  2. Holding each other accountable for the actionable steps we commit to. With accountability, we see our decisions through to the end, better ensuring our personal and professional success.
  3. Growing as leaders, not just as businesses. To see organizations grow and succeed, the leader must become the driving force behind that growth. Companies are extensions of the leaders that guide them.
  4. Coming together to break free from isolation. It is lonely at the top, you may not have any peers to rely on for support. That’s why we bring together non-competitive leaders from a variety of industries to share experiences, receive unbiased feedback, and address big-picture issues.
  5. Change is constant. With all these aforementioned avenues, continuing to uplift each other, our businesses, and the economy as we face ever-changing challenges.

All this is accomplished through the four primary components of TEC: Peer groups, one-to-one coaching, thought leadership, and our global network.

TEC Chairs are experienced professionals with multiple years of business experience in senior leadership roles, performance coaching, consulting, or successful entrepreneurship, looking to share their knowledge and give back to the Canadian business community. Beyond just CEO training, they are the mentors responsible for guiding and facilitating the peer groups, choosing speakers for the group, and giving individual advice in one-to-one meetings with their members.

You get exclusive one-to-one coaching with a TEC Canada executive coach (Chair) who challenges you and accelerates your ability to grow strategically and overcome hurdles. Digging deeper into your personal and professional challenges is critical to achieving high levels of success. Alongside coaching, your Chair facilitates monthly confidential peer group meetings where ideas and solutions are pressure-tested by other CEOs who are walking the same path.

All our sessions (one-to-one, peer group meetings, speaker sessions) work together to ensure you get maximum benefit and growth for your organization and your leadership development. For that reason, these offerings are bundled into one package.

TEC members can attest to the success they have found by being a part of a TEC group. It’s far more than simply CEO leadership training. The key components of a TEC group work in harmony to provide the most up to date and comprehensive leadership development program in Canada. We are committed to providing each of our members with a personalized and optimized experience beyond their initial expectations through continuous learning, openness, individual accountability, and collective support. The results speak for themselves. To learn more about how TEC members have leveraged our proven method, visit our member stories here.
