Altis Recruitment and Technology Inc. (Altis) has appointed veteran business, finance, and transformation leader Andie Andreou as their new CEO. This puts Kathryn Tremblay, the organization’s founder, sole owner, and former CEO, in a new role in growth and innovation.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Andie Andreou to the team as our new CEO and work alongside her to propel our organization into the future,” said Tremblay. “With this appointment, Altis gains a visionary leader with proven experience executing complex business transformations that result in exponential growth.”
“I’m pleased to join a company with such a strong focus on humanity and look forward to leading Altis through its next phase of growth, especially at a pivotal time, when new technologies are changing the world of work, creating entirely new roles and demanding new skillsets,” said Andreou. “Together with Kathryn Tremblay and the executive team, I’m keen to continue strengthening Altis’s foundation, including streamlining our processes, governance model, and service delivery, as well as continuing our digital transformation, so we can connect even more employers with qualified candidates nationwide.”
“Since co-founding the business over 35 years ago, I’ve worked with my team to grow Altis into one of Canada’s largest independent recruitment firms,” said Tremblay. “And as I looked to take that next step forward, I sought a dynamic, new leader with both a business and growth mindset—and ideally a woman, since Altis is a certified woman-owned enterprise. I’m confident that Andie Andreou has the right combination of skills and experience to help Altis achieve sustainable growth in today’s ever-evolving employment landscape.”
