This just in, we’re ranked 367th on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America. It’s been a busy year and to be on this list validates a lot of things we’re doing right at eCompliance. Being 1 of only 23 other companies in Toronto is even more special because the city is a growing epicenter of tech companies in Canada. Toronto even competes with prominent cities like San Francisco and Seattle in the US in terms of total number of tech jobs and growing tech markets!

Earlier this summer a significant $40 million investment came from Alcumus Holdings Ltd. This marks five M&A’s and one angel investment (totaling over $55 million) that I’ve been a part of as head of software development (11 years). With a little fun and to recognize that you learn new things everyday… here’s a picture of my Deal Toy, used to commemorate the closing of a business deal!

I’ve never heard of a “deal toy” before getting one of these, apologies to all the investment bankers, private equity associates, and venture capitalists out there that probably have a dozen of these in their offices!

Wonder what 2020 will bring for new challenges and professional growth? Hope it’s even bigger than 2019!
