Chief Financial Officer
As Chief Financial Officer, Gabe Diab leads Sylvan Group’s financial and growth strategies, working closely with operational leadership to strengthen performance across the organization. With more than two decades of experience guiding complex change initiatives at global corporations and private equity-backed enterprises, Gabe brings a disciplined, systems-driven approach to how Sylvan manages and scales its business.
Under his leadership, the finance function has undergone a significant modernization — implementing Oracle EPM and Microsoft BI to give leadership real-time visibility into performance, and tightening the month-end close process from more than 25 days to just nine. These improvements have given Sylvan’s teams faster, more reliable data for decision-making and strengthened finance’s role as a strategic partner across the business.
Gabe is recognized for his ability to turn vision into action — building strong teams, introducing disciplined processes, and fostering a culture of accountability. He believes that successful transformation requires clarity, collaboration, and a relentless focus on execution, all of which create opportunities for Sylvan’s continued success.
Gabe earned his MBA and Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Windsor and holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Western Ontario. He is a CPA/CMA and has completed executive leadership programs at INSEAD, along with certifications in Six Sigma and Change Management.
