About

Randall Ettinger

Randall Ettinger is a Montreal-based real estate investor, TIGER 21 chair, world traveler, and executive coach to high-performing CEOs and entrepreneurs.

He holds a BA from Concordia University and an MBA earned jointly in Toronto and Shanghai, and honed his real estate expertise at SmartCentres REIT, where he focused on development, land planning and finance.

In 2011, Randall founded Perspective Real Estate Group, focused on value-add commercial projects. In 2020, he co-founded Capstone Developments, specializing in urban infill residential. In 2024 he shifted gears — selling his business interests to focus on coaching high-performing CEOs and entrepreneurs.

Figure out what you want-to do instead of what you want-to want-to do.

Alongside the coaching, Randall chairs the Montreal group of TIGER 21, an invitation-only peer network for accomplished founders and investors. His role there is less about answers than conditions — creating the environment for clear, honest thinking among people who rarely get it.

Everything has a list price (what it costs on the surface) and a real price (what you have to give up to get it).

Fluent in four languages, Randall has traveled to over 50 countries, with adventures ranging from big-wave surfing in the Philippines to motorcycling across southern India. He serves on the boards of charities supporting affordable housing and children with special needs. When he isn't coaching or volunteering, he can be found playing tennis, guest lecturing, or cycling cross-country.

Your job, throughout your entire life, is to disappoint as many people as it takes to avoid disappointing yourself.

Randall is married to Laurence Goulet; they have three young boys — Uriel, Noam and Jonah — and a Goldendoodle named Barney. They divide their time between Montreal, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts and Hallandale, Florida.
