Dave Velanoff authored the Retirement Succession Plan for one of Canada’s largest and most successful fully integrated Independent Financial firms which was eventually sold to one of Canada’s top five Banks.
Soon after being appointed CEO at MGIF he implemented a succession program that became one of the major value propositions and strategic initiatives of the company. After the successful sale of MGIF to one of Canada’s major financial institutions, Velanoff semi-retired and soon after created a business plan and vision to build a consolidator salaried financial planning firm. Velanoff aligned himself with key founding shareholder partners and together they built and restructured their company under the CEO Model methodology; a system designed to crystallize and magnify the value of an organization or corporation for future sale. In 2020 the business was sold to a strategic Investment Management firm for one of the highest multiples in their sector of the financial services industry.
CEO Capital Strategies Inc. began it's business by introducing Financial and Investment Advisors to the CEO Model. The CEO Model was built and founded by Dave Velanoff and his good friend Harry James and has proven to be a successful business model for crystallizing and magnifying the value of a business (see the CEO Model E-book). Due to his extensive background in senior management with four notable financial services corporations (see "Founding Shareholder" above) Dave expanded his consulting business to include additional services; business management consulting, advisor placement, business acquisitions and capital referral facilitation.
Due to popular demand, CEO Capital expanded its services by outsourcing them to a third party consulting business, COADA. (see Consultants) The success of this initiative has driven CEO Capital Strategies Inc. to provide additional outsourced services through consultants with impressive success patterns in their discipline.
