Jack Harris

Career CFO / Vice-Chairman

Most recently Vice Chair of Tom Harris Cellular Ltd, one of the largest networks of Telus retail stores,  Jack has been a steady hand at both the finances, and operations, of many large enterprises spanning Automotive and Communications.

Jack started his career with a stint as CFO of a successful Auto Dealership in Nanaimo. He continued with a promotion to President of an automotive supply company before returning to a CFO role with a GM dealership for almost 30 years. Towards the end of the 90’s Jack jumped at the opportunity to join the blossoming telecommunications industry and took a role as partner and CFO of Tom Harris Cellular. He helped build this business to be the largest Telus dealership in Canada at the time, overseeing and arranging finance for several acquisitions and a successful sale of several branches to Telus themselves.

Jack’s long tenure in finance will be invaluable as AmbiMi continues to scale. His experience in growing a network of physical (retail) store locations via acquisition and organic growth will complement AmbiMi’s plans to open a network of Job Hubs across North America.
