Chantal Wedderburn

Chantal Wedderburn has over thirty (30) years of corporate experience beginning at World Transportation Corp (WTC) in New York where she quickly advanced to the president’s assistance while still attending high school. She later worked at Gould Computer Systems (now Gould Electronics) while attending college in addition to juggling the demands of raising a family of five children. At Gould, Mrs. Wedderburn worked in the International Finance Department compiling and analyzing consolidated financial statements for over two dozen of the company’s subsidiaries.

At the time, Gould was a leading supplier of minicomputers, which were then the most advanced computer technology available, long before the growth in popularity of PLC and DCS systems or even PC based control system. Ironically, Gould would later acquire Modicon, the inventor of the first PLC, a product that is so instrumental to the services that Champion Controls provides today.

She continued her financial management career as VP and Financial Manager of Acutec, Inc. before incorporating Champion Controls in 2003. Today she is pursuing her vision of growing Champion Controls into the most successful system integration and control systems manufacturer in Florida.

Mrs. Wedderburn lives a full life with varied outside interests. She holds a Commercial Pilot License with Instrument and Multi-Engine retractable landing gear ratings. She has held various board positions including President and Vice President, and raised and managed hundreds-of-thousands of dollars for school and community volunteer organizations. She sits on the Board of the YMCA and is involved in numerous other charitable organizations.
