MIAMI - illiNews -- CEO Coaching International, the leading firm for coaching growth-focused CEOs and entrepreneurs globally, is pleased to announce Stephen Bebis as its newest Partner and Coach.
Stephen brings over 45 years of business leadership experience to CEO Coaching International, most recently working at boutique executive search firm Bigwin Group. Prior to his role there, Bebis served as President and CEO of retail company Brookstone and Liquor Stores N.A., a publicly traded company with 252 liquor stores across North America and over $800 million in revenue.

In November 2004 Mr. Bebis took the company public in the form of an income trust trading on the TSX and sold the company to OMERS in 2007, who took it private.
One of Stephen's most impressive career achievements was his time at Home Depot, which when he joined had only 14 stores, and when he left the division he led had reached over $6 billion in sales. Soon thereafter Stephen became founder, President and CEO of Toronto-based Aikenhead, which he built from an idea to over $1 billion in sales in just 3 years before he and his fellow investors sold 75% of the company to Home Depot.
