John Lansink

John Lansink grew up on a family farm outside of London, Ontario, where he developed an early appreciation for agriculture, entrepreneurship and what it takes to build a business.

In 2011, John partnered with Mike Perovich and became an owner of Future Transfer, helping grow the business in both eastern and western Canada. In 2015, they sold the company to Univar Corporation. Following the sale, John became involved in a number of entrepreneurial ventures and worked closely with local farmers and business owners, helping them grow their businesses and navigate financial and strategic challenges.

In 2020, John, along with Chan, Charlie and their partners, reacquired Future Transfer, beginning a new chapter of significant growth for the company.

Today, John’s primary focus at Future Transfer is strategic growth. He is constantly looking ahead at where the company can go next, whether through new markets, new capabilities, acquisitions or investments that allow Future Transfer to do more for its customers. He brings an entrepreneurial mindset and financial discipline to that role, with a strong belief that sustainable growth comes from great people, strong relationships and a willingness to pursue opportunities others may not see.

John holds a B.A. from the University of Guelph, an MBA from Queen’s University and is a Certified Management Accountant.
