WORK HISTORY
VP, Operations & Strategic Growth @The Tph Group
Toronto, ON, CA
After more than four decades in the insurance claims industry, and still too young to retire, I felt it was time for a change. I joined The Painting Hub Inc.(now The TPH Group Inc.) in order to use my business management, business development, and risk management skills I learned during my tenure in the insurance claims industry to help move the company to the next level. The TPH Group is a growing company which is looking to expand the current painting business model it has, as well help diversify the company by moving into other trade sectors serving the construction, restoration, and decorating businesses. As the corporate hub, The TPH Group Inc. oversees its current divisions, including familiar names such as the commercial division ‘The Painting Hub’ and residential division specializing in condominium painting ‘PaintMyCondo.com’. In addition to homeowners, our clients include some of North America\'s largest property managers, REIT\'s, luxury hotels and general contractors.The TPH Group Inc- More than \"JUST\" painting!
