WHO WE ARE

Institutional discipline. Human respect.

One spent 20 years leading acquisitions that scaled two public companies from billions to tens of billions in revenue. The other competed professionally in Major League Soccer and built a portfolio of sports businesses across Canada. Together they created Groupe Soto to bring that same standard to owner-operated businesses.
