About Us

Pete Baran

Board Chair

Pete grew up understanding that their small family businesses did more than just put food on the table and a roof over his head, they provided a sense of pride and accomplishment for his family who came to Canada to find a better life. 


He obtained senior leadership and advisory positions in Fortune 500 and private Canadian companies including Canadian Tire, Mark’s Work Wearhouse, IBM, HP, Fujitsu Consulting and CGI. He worked with Alberta Energy under the Ralph Klein government and on the board of the BC Land Titles and Survey Authority. In his own consulting practice, Pete has managed corporate development projects with budgets of over $40 million. 


Today, Pete works with owners of small and medium businesses to get their businesses running more smoothly, powerfully, and profitably so that they can enjoy their business more and in turn helps them find more time and capacity to participate in the things that really matters to them. 


Pete has a degree in Commerce from the University of BC, a certificate in High-Performance Leadership from Cornell University, and a certificate in Process Improvement from Villanova University.
