After integrating his business & team with the acquiring company, Ian was promoted to Vice President of Business Development and Marketing where he launched, grew and managed several successful products and lines of business while gaining valuable executive experience with one of Canada’s largest publicly-traded B2B media companies.

Ian is married with two children and outside the office enjoys spending time with family and friends, travelling, downhill skiing, and lots of summer time at the lake cottage.
