Wilf Wikkerink
CEO in St. Catharines, Ontario
I joined Book Depot in 2005 after spending nine years at Legacy Entertainment as Partner and Operations Director. Together with my business partner, we built and successfully sold one of the industry’s leading budget music companies to a UK based company. As CEO of Book Depot, I am passionate about sharing the vision of Book Depot with employees, customers, and suppliers alike, building lifelong relationships locally and abroad. I enjoy business development, both organically and through acquisition having successfully completed several acquisitions at Book Depot. I am focused on getting the right people on the team while investing heavily in improving operations through automation and technology.
As the son of Dutch immigrants, I grew up on a dairy farm on Vancouver Island and graduated from Dordt University in Sioux Center, Iowa where I earned my Bachelors of Business Administration. Together with my wife Natalie, we have been blessed with six children, two boys and four girls ranging from age 26 through 15. With the recent marriages of our three oldest children, we now have three grandchildren and two more on the way. As a family we enjoy spending time outdoors, travelling, playing Spikeball, and reading a good book.
