HGreg Group, operating in both Canada and the U.S., confirms that Emilio B. Imbriglio, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton’s former President and CEO, will join the company’s board of directors in April.
Known for his Midas Touch in business, expert counsel in governance and strategy, extensive list of achievements and awards and tenure on the boards of multinationals, industry disruptors and not-for-profit organizations, Imbriglio will help HGreg attain its growth plan and expand the ambitious digital transformation its leadership team has already begun.
“I’ve always been inspired by high-performance entrepreneurs who are committed to innovation, leading-edge projects and disrupting entire industries for the benefit of the consumer,” says Emilio Imbriglio. “I’ve seen this culture at HGreg. I’ve known the company for three decades and, over the past year, have come to gain a deep appreciation for John Hairabedian’s vision. I look forward to helping install a governance charter and Board reflexes that formally demonstrate to stakeholders HGreg’s genuine concern for sustainability, diversity, social responsibility and ethics, amongst others. I’m convinced there’s much growth and success on the road ahead, and I’m happy to be a part of it.”
Happy with Emilio’s role
“We could not be happier with Emilio’s role,” says John Hairabedian, CEO at HGreg Group. “His lists of achievements in business, education and as a director of prestigious organizations and non-profits, are truly remarkable. Emilio knows and understands what it takes to institutionalize innovation and, ultimately, to help us transform our industry and business practices in ways that deliver value to all our stakeholders. We couldn’t be more excited about the future of HGreg.”
HGreg’s senior team, both north and south of the border, is filled with young business leaders who are driven to transform the car buying process. Over the past 10 years, they have been successful at repositioning the company into an automotive technology company that happens to reinvent the car-buying experience.
“Delivering a smooth and memorable customer experience is not merely the result of a nice showroom or website,” says Imbriglio. “It’s impacted by all elements of a company’s operations. I’ve come to appreciate the amount of innovation that is present within HGreg’s supply chain and on the back end. This, and the company’s strong leadership and vision, gives me confidence in knowing their foundations are solid.”
