Put Your Mask On First
Ryan Hindmarsh is the CEO of Sleep Therapeutics, a Canadian company that helps people sleep at night, so they can restore their days. He joined the company in 2018, after more than 20 years of leadership in the health and wellness industry. His experience ranges from being a fitness coach for NHL hockey players to co-founding and managing some of Toronto’s top sports clinics and fitness facilities. It was during his time in gyms and clinics that Ryan realized how important sleep is to productivity and performance. And it’s why sleep is a passion, not just a job.
In addition to high-pressure sports environments, Ryan developed his skills through his tenure as an executive leadership coach. Using unique LMI processes, he learned how to build a winning attitude and team, and achieve success through goal setting.
He’s passionate about developing the people around him, and he embraces the responsibility of leading the company culture. In life and in business, he practices what he preaches, and his mission is to awaken the lives of as many Canadians as possible.
