A charismatic entrepreneur, Perry has a unique ability to recognize opportunity and relevant resources for new growth.

Perry opened his first retail store at the age of fifteen (operating after school and weekends). Over the next three years he developed the little skateboard boutique into two full-time retail stores, Toronto's first indoor skateboard facility, a national action sports magazine and his first international brand, Fishlips Skateboards.

In 1993, Perry founded Limited Snowboards Inc., which went on to become the largest Canadian snowboard brand worldwide. In addition to his responsibilities as Company President, over the next four years Perry served as committee Chair and Director of the worlds largest on-snow trade association, Snowsports Industries of America (SIA). During this time he was also an elected Director of NSIA, (SIA’s Canadian equivalent) making him one of the only industry leaders to serve on both boards simultaneously.

In 1998 Perry and his partners sold Limited Snowboards to the Volant Ski Company, LLC owned by former Olympian Hank Kashiwa and Apple Computer magnate Michael Markkula and, in 1999, returned to Toronto to begin his career as a Producer and Director of youth content for film and television.

After cutting his teeth on commercials for Adidas/Solomon's Bonfire Snowboarding, and music videos for Sony Music Entertainment, Perry began to develop his dramatic skills under the apprenticeship of Richard J. Lewis (C.S.I., The Chris Issak Show) and Roy H. Wagner (Hart to Hart, Quantum Leap, Pasadena).

In 2002 Perry began his relationship with the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) and surprised his friends and himself by setting a national breath-hold record, earning a place on the Canadian National Freedive Team. In early 2003 he joined technology investor John Textor and Hollywood Director Michael Bay as a founding principal of the Israel Global Television Network (IGTN).

As IGTN's founding President, Perry worked with other principals to create a compelling business plan and startup strategy that attracted the support and endorsement of Israeli broadcast executives and government officials including former Prime Minister and Nobel peace prize winner Shimon Peres. At the CBC Perry produced radio documentaries while continuing to Direct and Produce independent film projects. In late 2004 Perry achieved Level-A Judge status with A.I.D.A., the world federation of Freediving, making him one of only nine instructors of judges world-wide.

In 2006 Perry joined forces with award winning designer and long-time collaborator Tony Enns to form Brand & Tonic Inc., a brand development boutique specializing in identity, packaging and design. In late 2009 Perry launched his private consultancy practice and accompanying podcast Adventures In Business.

As a trusted advisor Perry draws on his diverse talents and experience to work with start-ups, Fortune 500, small business, organizations and professionals across a wide variety of industries to identify unique opportunities and resorces for new growth, providing the necessary direction and support to ensure effective implementation.
