Channing Wang is President and Principal Consultant at GBL Human Capital, where he advises business owners, executives, and HR leaders across Canada on pension, benefits, healthcare, and executive wealth and legacy strategies. His work focuses on designing outcome-driven, cost-effective programs that align organizational strategy with the evolving needs of today’s leaders and workforce.

Channing brings a disciplined, data-driven perspective to some of the most pressing challenges facing leading employers, including rising benefit costs, retirement readiness, workforce expectations, and the increasing complexity of Canada’s retirement and healthcare landscape. He works closely with leadership teams to translate actuarial, regulatory, and financial considerations into practical strategies and clear decisions that improve decision-making confidence, governance, efficiency, and long-term outcomes.

His areas of expertise include defined contribution and pension plan optimization, employer-sponsored healthcare programs, executive pension and tax strategies, and the practical integration of retirement, insurance, and wealth-planning solutions for legacy businesses. He is particularly focused on creating greater alignment between the financial objectives of an organization and the health and financial wellbeing of its owners, executives, and employees.

With a career servicing the healthcare, technology, real estate, hospitality, energy, construction, manufacturing and the non-profit sectors, Channing brings a broad cross-industry perspective to conversations around Canada’s changing labor market, retirement security, the future of employer-sponsored healthcare, and wealth and legacy transfers. His approach is rooted in making complex issues understandable and creating practical dialogue around the decisions organizations and their leaders need to make today to remain sustainable and competitive tomorrow.

Prior to joining GBL Human Capital, Channing held senior roles with one of Canada’s largest insurers and a leading North American benefits consulting firm. He has also worked extensively with Canadian-based charities, helping align donor, financial, and legacy strategies with long-term organizational purpose and community impact.
