Summary

Drawing from his almost three decades in the public spotlight, Tim Hudak helps business and organizations advance their leadership, advocacy and public affairs goals.

Tim had a distinguished 21-year career as a Member of Provincial Parliament, Cabinet Minister, and Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. Post-politics, Tim has continued to advise the Ontario government, including as a Member of the provincial Housing Affordability Task Force and as Chair of the Ontario Tourism Economic Recovery Task Force post-COVID.

For over seven years, Tim served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), Canada’s largest provincial professional association. Under Tim’s leadership, OREA transformed into one of Ontario’s most impactful advocacy groups, making great strides in strengthening consumer protection, keeping the dream of home ownership alive, and creating a new health and insurance benefits program for all realtors. As a result, Tim was named one of the most powerful people in North American residential real estate by Swanepoel Power 200 for five consecutive years.

Most recently, Tim launched Tim Hudak Consulting, which offers industry-leading executive support through innovative Peer Councils for CEOs and Advocacy Executives across the country.
