Jeff McCaig is a respected Calgary-based business leader with a distinguished career in the transportation industry and a deep commitment to community.

Jeff was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and moved to Calgary at the age of nine when the family’s trucking business, founded by his grandfather and then managed by his father, acquired a larger trucking business based in Alberta.  He completed his secondary schooling in Calgary and his post-secondary education at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  After obtaining his Arts Baccalaureate cum laude in Economics, he enrolled at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto where he obtained his law degree.   He began his legal career with a large Calgary based partnership and then established his own law firm where he had the freedom to pursue the entrepreneurial opportunities so abundant in Calgary at that time.Currently, she is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Cannonball Capital Inc., which is her family office and an active institutional investor in venture companies, private and public equities as well as commercial real estate. 

By then the family trucking business had grown into a multi-business enterprise that included oil and gas well drilling and truck leasing among others, in addition to its original bulk trucking business.  At his father’s urging, Jeff sold his law practice, went back to school for a year to earn a Master of Management Science degree at Stanford University then joined the family firm where he worked with his father for about 10 years, becoming president in 1990 and CEO in 1994 when his father stepped down to pursue his interest in health care and philanthropy.

Under his leadership, Trimac grew to become one of the largest bulk trucking companies in North America, earning a reputation for operational excellence, safety, and reliability. Today, Jeff continues to shape the company's strategic direction as Chair of the Board.

After stepping away from daily operations at Trimac, Jeff established a family office to manage his interests in a variety of other areas.  He is co-owner of the Calgary Flames and chairs their charitable arm, the Calgary Flames Foundation. Jeff serves as Chair and Partner of Bantrel Co. one of Canada’s largest engineering and construction businesses. In addition, he holds directorships at MEG Energy, Sagard Wealth, and several smaller businesses and start-ups.

Jeff lives in Calgary with his wife Marilyn, and together they support a wide range of causes focused on education, healthcare, and sport.

Jeff has three adult children who despite having busy professional careers contribute significantly to the family office.  Outside of work, Jeff loves the mountains and spends as much time skiing, climbing and being in the back country as he can manage.
