- Jay Hennick is the CEO and largest shareholder of Toronto-based real estate investment firm Colliers International.
- He got his start in 1972 as a teenager, when he started a small company that managed a commercial swimming pool, with an initial $1,000 loan from his dad.
- In 1989, he turned that firm into real estate services outfit FirstService and took it public on the Toronto Stock Exchange four years later.
- He merged FirstService with Colliers in 2010; five years later, he spun Colliers out as a publicly traded firm on the NASDAQ.
- Hennick's family investment firm, Hennick & Co., owns stakes in Foster & Partner Architects and Canada's Haventree Bank.
- His first job was a summer lifeguard at an apartment complex at age 15; it gave him the idea for his first company.
