JACK RILEY
Executive Vice President, Owner/Founder
Jack Riley has spent his career building, improving, integrating, and strengthening businesses—from the ground up to the executive table.
Beginning as an entrepreneur in logging and construction, Jack learned firsthand what it means to operate in demanding environments where margins matter, downtime costs money, and decisions have real consequences. After strategically exiting those businesses, he built a career in the heavy equipment industry, advancing through sales, operations, major account leadership, branch management, and executive advisory roles with organizations including Pardee Equipment (later Brandt Tractor), Coneco Equipment, Strongco Equipment, and Cervus Equipment.
Throughout his career, Jack became known for bridging operational reality with business strategy. He has led remanufacturing operations, major account performance systems, branch operations, acquisition integrations, leadership development, branding consolidation, operational investigations, and enterprise improvement initiatives. At Cervus Equipment, he played a leadership role in the acquisition and integration of two Peterbilt dealership groups across Canada and helped shape organizational systems related to culture, leadership development, and operational effectiveness.
Today, Jack co-leads The SCP Group Inc., helping organizations stabilize, strengthen, and scale through practical business improvement, acquisition and exit readiness, financial clarity, operational discipline, leadership capability, and long-term value creation. His experience spans industries ranging from engineering and manufacturing to municipalities, healthcare, dealerships, ISPs, and industrial operations.
Known for combining executive thinking with practical problem-solving, Jack brings an uncommon blend of boardroom perspective and hands-on operational experience. Outside of consulting, he enjoys CNC machining, rebuilding equipment and vehicles, and solving complex mechanical problems—an extension of the same systems-thinking approach that defines his professional work.
