About Craig Gilpin:

Craig Gilpin has spent much of his career in the highly competitive Canadian retail grocery industry.

From an Executive position at A&P (now known as Metro), Craig moved to Sobeys as President of Ontario operations, overseeing more than 200 locations and 30,000 employees.  Having achieved strong results in successive years, Craig’s next journey took him to North America’s second-oldest retail enterprise – the North West Company.  As the Chief Operating Officer, Craig was responsible for hundreds of retail locations under 4 major banners, most located in underserved communities throughout northern Canada, Alaska, Pacific islands and the Caribbean.
