​

Tyler Argue, the president and CEO of Westbridge Ventures Canada LP, demonstrates resilience and ingenuity in the world of business and social entrepreneurship. From humble beginnings marked by adversity, Tyler’s journey has been one of grit and determination, culminating in the leadership of a firm that redefines investigative services, fraud prevention, and risk management across Canada.

​

Tyler’s non-traditional path to success has been central to his story. Leaving home at a young age and overcoming challenges, he earned his GED, pursued an associate’s degree in paramedicine, earned the designation as a Canadian Certified Fire Investigator (CCFI-C), and gained certification in cognitive forensic interviewing. These milestones shaped his approach to problem-solving and leadership, which have become the cornerstone of his career.

​

“I saw gaps in services and customer care during my time with other risk management firms,” Tyler reflects. “I wanted to address those challenges and offer an approach that went beyond traditional big box consulting firms.”

​

In 2022, Tyler founded Westbridge Ventures Canada LP, headquartered in Calgary with locations in Edmonton, Yellowknife, and Whitehorse. The firm provides a comprehensive suite of services, including investigative risk management, fraud prevention, and strategic community development. What sets Westbridge apart is its client-centric approach and a commitment to tackling complex problems with innovative solutions. Tyler explains, “We don’t just offer core investigative services. We deliver a flexible, holistic suite of solutions that address the broader challenges businesses face today.”

​

A key pillar of Westbridge’s success lies in its specialization through Springboard Strategies, the company’s trade name for its community and social development initiatives. Through his leadership, their firm has tackled some bold and complex initiatives in the NGO sector which exemplifies his dedication to fostering economic empowerment, cultural preservation, and gender-based violence prevention. Through collaborations with Indigenous organizations, educational institutions, and corporate stakeholders, Tyler has built a reputation as a leader who bridges divides and promotes collaboration.

​

The firm’s unorthodox approach extends beyond its community focus. Last year, Tyler spearheaded a bold move by merging with an accounting firm—an unconventional step that grew the business significantly. “Everybody thought I was nuts,” Tyler admits with a smile. “But your finances are a risk in your business, so the partnership with Gill made perfect sense. Together, we’re solving problems holistically, and the results speak for themselves.”

 

Westbridge Canada thrives on critical thinking, creativity, and a dedication to exceptional customer service. Tyler explains, “Every situation we handle—whether a forensic investigation, financial audit, or nonprofit initiative—requires unique solutions. That’s where we shine.”

​

Under Tyler’s leadership, Westbridge has become a trusted partner to industries like insurance, finance, and corporate sectors. By blending top talent, cutting-edge technology, and a mission-driven focus, the firm continues to redefine what’s possible in risk management services and community development.

​

For Tyler Argue, the road to success wasn’t conventional, but it’s precisely this adaptable perspective that has driven him to build bridges, tackle complex challenges, and make a meaningful impact on businesses and communities across Canada.
