Karl Thomson RGD
I created and helmed one of Canada's best-loved boutique advertising and design agencies – Compass360 – for 22 years as Creative Director and Managing Partner before selling my half at the end of 2015; I was Chief Designer and Managing Director of Siena Red, which developed residential rental property in Southwestern Ontario; and as Team Principal of Compass Racing – which I founded in 2003 – I oversaw what has become one of the winningest professional sportscar teams in North America. 2023 saw the launch of my latest venture, Compass Collective, which offers collector car storage and online auction support for clients selling high-value vehicles.
I am grateful to give back to our community and have been on the Board of – or an Advisor to – a number of worthy for-good organizations, most especially the Race Day Foundation, a 501(c)3 that provides transformative motorsports-related experiences that cultivate and nurture interest in STEM-related career paths as well as bespoke experiential events that offer a “day-away” to deserving families.
