Commercial Real Estate is our sweet spot.Exceptional leadership is our business.
AVID EXEC recruits senior leaders in seven areas. The deepest is commercial and multi-family real estate — property management, brokerage, development, asset management and real estate finance. The other six are development and construction, engineering, corporate leadership, finance and accounting, professional services, and not-for-profit.
Our expertise doesn't stop at the property line
Real estate is where the practice is deepest, but the roles that keep a portfolio standing sit well outside it: the controller who defends the budget, the engineer on the building envelope, the executive director of the association a developer sits on, the operations leader who holds a service business together. We recruit those roles on the same rubric, at every level a business needs — not only the top of the org chart.

Executive Search
Retained search for leadership roles that carry real consequence. We build the shortlist against what the organization needs to change, not against a job description.
Leadership Advisory
Succession, structure, and the conversations boards find hardest. We advise on who is ready, what has to be true, and what happens when the founder steps back.
Organizational Excellence
Compensation, retention, and building teams that hold together. We help organizations keep the people they cannot afford to lose.
Where does AVID EXEC recruit?
Edmonton and Calgary are named first. Alberta and Western Canada second. National mandates are handled where the role requires it. Geographic specificity is one of the strongest signals a specialist firm can send, and AVID EXEC does not give it away by saying "we serve clients across Canada."
