Vistage Expands its Reach with TEC Canada Acquisition

Vistage Worldwide, a recognized leader in CEO coaching and peer advisory, has announced its acquisition of TEC Canada, a long-time licensee. This strategic move aims to enhance the company's footprint in the CEO peer advisory arena across North America. Vistage, which has been operational since 1957, focuses on connecting high-performing leaders to foster growth and effective decision-making.

The acquisition comes at a time when Vistage is striving to build upon its established model of delivering remarkable results for business leaders. With over 45,000 members worldwide, Vistage provides a platform where executives can come together in confidential board meetings. This allows them to gain unique insights, clarity, and support - essentials for transforming their leadership capacity and driving company growth.

TEC Canada has made significant strides in developing a community of over 1,600 members since its inception, with Dr. W. Lynn Tanner, its founder, playing a crucial role in shaping its impact. Tanner emphasized the importance of community by stating, "What began as a vision to support CEOs has grown into a trusted community grounded in challenge, accountability, and meaningful growth." His sentiments underline the foundational ethos of TEC Canada, which has provided leaders with resources and a network to thrive.

Todd Millar, the former CEO of TEC Canada, expressed pride in the organization’s accomplishments and its guiding principles, which center on fostering better leadership. Under Vistage's umbrella, TEC Canada members will have access to enhanced resources and broader opportunities, aimed at deepening connections and facilitating further growth.

Effective immediately, Pearl Gittins and Jody Milhousen have been appointed as Co-General Managers of TEC Canada, entrusted with steering the next chapter of their community. Both Gittins and Milhousen have extensive experience within TEC Canada, possessing deep insights into the unique needs of its members.

Rob Ristagno, President of International Operations at Vistage, highlighted the incredible work done by TEC Canada in cultivating a community of leaders. He noted, "TEC Canada has built an exceptional and enduring community of leaders committed to growth, trust, and high-integrity decision-making." Ristagno's comments reflect Vistage's commitment to expanding its peer advisory model across Canada, aligning with its vision of being the most reliable resource for small and midsize business owners worldwide.

In summary, Vistage's acquisition of TEC Canada signifies a major development in the North American business landscape.
