ACG Toronto, Canada’s leading association for middle-market private
equity, M&A and business leadership, is pleased to announce the appointment of Tim Bishop as Chief
Executive Officer.
As the largest international chapter within the global Association for Corporate Growth network, ACG
Toronto connects a dynamic community of business leaders, investors and advisors, providing
opportunities for members to adapt, grow and compete internationally.
Tim Bishop brings an extensive background in strategic leadership and community-building, with a
focus on fostering growth, engagement and innovation. As CEO, he will leverage ACG Toronto’s
strong foundation to further elevate the organization’s impact across its membership and broader
ecosystem.
“I am honored to join ACG Toronto and serve this exceptional community,” said Bishop. “ACG is built
on the power of connection by bringing together leaders, ideas and opportunities to drive growth. I
look forward to accelerating our community, deepening engagement and strengthening the platform
that supports our members’ success.”
Sean McKinnon, ACG Toronto Board Chair, noted “We’re excited about the next phase of growth for
ACG Toronto as Tim’s experience and ambition present an exciting opportunity for our chapter. Tim’s
focus on member and stakeholder value aligns completely with ACG’s vision to empower dealmakers
to accelerate business growth.”
Bishop succeeds Mike Fenton, who steps down after more than a decade of distinguished leadership.
During his tenure, Fenton led ACG Toronto through a period of significant growth, expanded
programming and increased national influence within the middle-market ecosystem. The organization
also extends its sincere appreciation to Ben Gibbons, who provided leadership as Interim CEO during
the transition period.
“ACG Toronto delivers a powerful platform and a vibrant, engaged community,” Bishop added.
“Together, we will continue to build meaningful connections, foster thought leadership and create new
opportunities that support sustained growth for our members.”
