Dawn Betancourt

President · Thompsons Limited

Dawn is a wife of 28 years, with two children ages 24, and 20. She is currently the President of Thompsons Limited, in Blenheim Ontario. In 2013 Thompsons was purchased on a 50/50 joint venture by The Andersons Inc, and Lansing Trade Group. She worked for The Andersons for 28 years prior to my arrival in Canada. Dawn started in 1987 for $6.38 an hour after graduating from Michigan State University. Within the Andersons, she started originating grain then managing other originators as well. By 1996, she was responsible for multiple grain elevator over many years. These elevators were throughout every state. The Andersons owned elevators in from Michigan to Nebraska. In 2007, Dawn became the Sales Director for the Grain Division, and in 2011, was named VP of the Western Region of the Grain Division. In 2013, she moved to Chatham Ontario to run Thompsons Limited. In her spare time she works out and tries to take care of herself both physically and mentally. She enjoys going to see her son in Wisconsin and loves going to country music concerts and being social. Her favorite thing to do is travel, in particular anywhere there is a water. Dawn can’t say she aspired to be a President of a company at any point in her career. But she wouldn’t change a thing. “The challenge of something new brought me here and that drive for challenge will take me to the next place, wherever that may be.”
