Steven Owen

President

Steven Owen is the President of Owen & Associates, a leading Canadian employee benefits and retirement consulting firm supporting multinational organizations with their Canadian operations. Since assuming leadership of the business in 2018, Steven has helped grow the organization from approximately 10 employees to more than 60 team members, while increasing the scale of the business more than fivefold through a combination of strategic growth, operational leadership, and a relentless focus on client experience.

Over the past decade, Steven has worked closely with hundreds of U.S.-headquartered multinational organizations — particularly venture-backed and publicly traded technology companies — guiding them from their initial entry into Canada through to large-scale mature operations with thousands of employees. He is known as a strategic advisor and long-term partner to executive teams, helping organizations navigate the complexities of Canadian benefits, retirement, and people strategies in a rapidly evolving global environment.

Steven remains deeply involved with many of the firm’s largest clients and strategic partnerships, both in Canada and internationally. His leadership style emphasizes innovation, responsiveness, and building high-performing teams that deliver an exceptional client experience at scale.

Steven attended Thompson Rivers University and is a CPA who articled with KPMG before joining the family business. He has now spent nearly ten years helping lead and transform Owen & Associates into one of Canada’s premier independent consulting and brokerage firms in the multinational space.

A strong believer in work-life integration and wellness, Steven spends roughly 100 days each year travelling for both business and personal experiences, often combining the two whenever possible. He has visited nearly 30 countries and values the perspective and relationships that global travel creates. Outside of work, he is passionate about fitness, the outdoors, and spending time with his wife and daughter — whether on a bike, at the ski hill, on hiking trails, or exploring new places together.
