About the Author

T
odd Millar was formally involved with one of the most successful Private Equity transactions in the history of Bain Capital – the acquisition of SuperPages Canada for $1.9 billion dollars, and less than a year later, its sale for $2.6 billion dollars. After 25 years in senior executive positions in the petroleum, telecommunications, and advertising industries, Millar is now a national speaker and executive coach, as well as immediate Past-President of the world’s largest hockey association, Hockey Calgary. He has been involved in a number of volunteer organizations, including various hockey organizations, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Calgary Stampede and the National Adoption Association.

If you can’t find Millar on the ice officiating a hockey game, he might be scuba diving, climbing to Base Camp of Everest or zip lining across a rain forest.
