Best Moments From Our Team

“I raised my hand at every opportunity to take on more, and so from there, I transitioned into a Group Leader role. As Group Leader I strategically oversaw several additional companies and became involved in integrations to grow my portfolio. Most recently I stepped into a Portfolio CEO position, I now oversee 11 businesses and continue to be focused on the operational excellence of my portfolio business units while also working in an M&A capacity. Each role allowed me to grow, learn, and take on more responsibility.”

Jeff Mackinnon - Career Progression Story

“What happened to Kobas and the team was incredibly important to us. Vesta’s buy-and-hold-forever strategy gave us confidence that the team and the platform would have the strongest chance of long-term success. Compared with other acquirers whose strategies and motivations were less clear, Vesta’s approach made the future for our team far more compelling.”

“I think our success boils down to consistency. The businesses we acquire keep their culture, brand, and legacy. We add our flavour by introducing our strengths and measuring everything. Over time, the culture may shift slightly, but at its core, it remains the same business it always was. We’re also a data-driven organization that supports and encourages inquisitive minds. If that’s you, then you’ll feel at home here and continue to thrive.“
