Chantal Robin Named to Boating Industry’s Women Making Waves
Northpoint’s VP of Business Development/Canada Chantal Robin was tapped to the Boating Industry “Women Making Waves” Class of 2025 and received her award at the Top 100 Elevate Summit in Orlando in January. As one of a select group of women leaders throughout North America chosen for this prestigious honor, Chantal brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to her role which has positively impacted the success of Northpoint Commercial Finance throughout Canada, and the customers she serves.
According to Boating Industry, the recipients for this distinction are women who are leading and making valuable contributions to their companies, as well as to the marine industry at large. In addition, winners are also actively paving the way for the leaders of tomorrow through mentorship initiatives.
In preparing Chantal’s nomination for submission, Northpoint Director of Marketing Jill Howell interviewed several members of the Canadian Team for their candid insight on Chantal’s leadership skills and overall contributions to the company and its customers.
A few key highlights from those interviews included the following first-hand testimonials:
“Chantal has contributed to the organization through her passion, innovation, and forward-thinking.

She has always been a big believer in work ethic which includes being accountable for your actions while she actively participates in team tasks and upholding the standards she sets for herself and her team.”
“She always takes the time to listen to the customer’s needs. She is solutions-driven and can provide bilingual business and multi-industry support to our floorplan customers. Her warm approach with customers is very well appreciated.”
And as it relates to her success in mentorship and helping to groom future leaders:
“Chantal mentors her team by recognizing individual strengths and placing people in roles where they can thrive and grow. She also encourages her team to step beyond their comfort zones, while providing support and guidance. She’s focused on other’s professional development, driving them to realize their full potential.”
