Bringing the Boardroom
to the Stage
Anthony Ariganello is an experienced keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, drawing on four decades at the top of Canadian business and professional life to deliver sessions that are honest, practical, and genuinely memorable.
Experience That
Speaks for Itself
Most speakers talk about leadership and governance in the abstract. Anthony has lived it — leading a $250 million operation, steering a historic national merger, chairing boards across the public and private sectors, and receiving Canada's highest civilian honour for a lifetime of contribution.
That depth of firsthand experience is what makes his sessions different. Audiences leave not just inspired but equipped — with practical insight they can apply immediately.

Six Topics Anthony
Speaks On
All topics are customised to your audience, sector, and event objectives. Anthony does not deliver generic, off-the-shelf talks — every session is tailored.
What does effective governance actually look like in practice? Anthony breaks down the responsibilities, structures, and behaviours that distinguish boards that add value from those that get in the way.
Drawing on his experience leading national organisations through mergers, restructuring, and change, Anthony explores what great leadership looks like when it matters most — and what derails leaders who look good in calm waters.
One of Anthony's most in-demand sessions. A highly practical, jargon-free workshop that helps non-financial board members understand their fiduciary responsibilities and read financial statements with confidence.
One of the most important — and most frequently misunderstood — relationships in any organisation. Anthony explores how to build a productive, trust-based dynamic between the CEO and the board that serves the organisation rather than undermining it.
Developed from Anthony's experience leading CGA Canada and CPHR, this session addresses the unique challenges of professional association leadership — member engagement, relevance in a changing landscape, and the governance structures that enable long-term success.
As former CEO of CPHR Canada, Anthony makes the case for elevating HR from a support function to a strategic driver of organisational performance — covering talent, culture, and the human dimensions of leadership that finance-focused executives often underestimate.
