I have learned first-hand the impact of technology in the business world. Driven by my passion for learning more about technology\, I went back to school to pursue my Master of Technology Entrepreneurship and Innovation (a graduate business degree specializing in tech startups) from Saint Mary’s University in Canada. In school\, I stumbled upon new emerging technologies\, and ever since\, I have been committed to identifying and implementing innovative solutions around the world. Because of my passion for new technologies\, I have achieved my IBM Blockchain Foundation Developer certification. I am also a recipient of the “Durland Innovation Award” for a Blockchain application. I also hold an honours degree in Business Economics from the University of Delhi and a multitude of Design Thinking certifications. I am currently on a mission to change 1 billion lives through my mental health/ behavioural thinking company — Bit Happier Inc. \nAmielle Lake\, Chief Commercial Officer of CarboNet \nAmielle Lake founded Tagga\, marketing technology platform\, in 2008 after working in marketing and corporate communications in the finance industry. In February 2017\, Tagga was acquired by Campaign Monitor.

The organization is now in its third year with chapters in Victoria\, Vancouver and the Okanagan.

Stoko has redefined how athletes overcome injuries by introducing an entirely new category of supportive apparel. By incorporating adjustable medical-grade bracing seamlessly into everyday athletic clothing\, the Stoko team has created an entirely new method of joint support\, eliminating the need to wear traditional braces altogether. Personally\, Zack is a strong believer in the importance of building meaningful relationships with others\, fostering a strong company culture\, and living with a growth mindset.
