Mike Thibodeau — CEO
I empower Canadian businesses to really make the most out of AI and cloud-native apps, helping them grow faster, create new customer experiences and innovate their business. With over 15 years in the fields of sales, marketing, and business development, I've got a love for seeing results, building partnerships, and fostering collaboration across my amazing network. When I'm not geeking out on tech at Google, I'm the voice behind 'Pitch Please,' a podcast that's all about startups, innovators, and the ecosystem that powers them. I have amazing discussions with industry experts and listen to Canada's brightest startups pitch their big ideas. This podcast isn't just talk – it's about showcasing the amazing diversity and creativity of our Canadian innovators. It's my way of supporting and learning from the incredible entrepreneurs out there, and hopefully sparking a bit of that innovation flame in everyone who listens. I love all things tech and entrepreneurship, and I'm always up for connecting with people who want to join in on this app, AI, and startup adventure!
