Date posted: Sep 15, 2026

MMI Group is pleased to share an important leadership transition. After three years of transformational leadership as President, Jenn Mullen-Berube will be transitioning from her role, and Chad Willis, MMI Group’s Vice President, Valuation & Advisory, will step into the role of President. 

This long-term succession plan has been thoughtfully planned to support continuity across the organization and with our clients, partners, and investors. Reflecting the foresight and stewardship that defined her tenure, Jenn initiated and led this transition to ensure leadership continuity and alignment and sustained momentum.  

Since joining MMI Group as President in 2023, Jenn has had a monumental impact on the organization. She has been a champion for change, strengthening culture and performance while improving planning and systems and aligning the leadership team around digital transformation, relationships, growth and accountability. A constant steward of culture, Jenn led with purpose, trust, and empowerment and leaves MMI Group more disciplined, focused, and well-positioned for its next chapter.  

 “Jenn’s impact on MMI Group has been transformational,” said Martin McGarry, CEO and Founder of MMI Group. “She has helped elevate the organization far beyond what we imagined when she joined us three years ago. Her ability to lead with vision, accountability, empowerment, and care for culture has strengthened our foundation and left this organization fundamentally stronger for what comes next.” 

As Jenn moves into her next chapter, she will continue expanding Boundless Quest, the advisory and coaching practice she has been building over time. Through Boundless Quest, Jenn will continue working with founders, executives, and boards on strategy and growth, while also coaching leaders and athletes pursuing their next level of performance. The team at MMI Group looks forward to seeing the continued influence of her work in Manitoba’s business community and beyond. 

As incoming President, Chad Willis brings more than 18 years of experience across real estate, finance, and institutional lending, along with strong market knowledge, a proactive growth mindset, and a deep commitment to MMI Group’s strategic direction. Prior to joining MMI Group, Chad was recognized for his leadership within the Manitoba credit union system, where he served as Vice President and Chief Experience Officer. 

Since joining MMI Group, Chad has demonstrated a strong ability to lead in complex, relationship-driven environments, support high-performing teams, and create long-term value for clients and stakeholders. He will continue to lead the Valuation & Advisory division while stepping into the role of President of MMI Group. 

“Chad has earned the confidence of our ownership group and leadership team through his strong leadership, market insight, and commitment to MMI Group’s strategic direction,” said McGarry. “He understands our business, our people, and what matters most to our clients, partners, and investors. This transition has been carefully planned to support continuity and momentum, and we are confident Chad is the right leader to carry MMI Group forward into its next chapter.” 

Under Chad’s leadership, MMI Group will continue building on the momentum established over the past several years while maintaining the continuity, trusted relationships, disciplined execution, and long-term focus that are central to how the organization serves its clients, partners, investors, employees, and community.
