The Founders
Thierry Poitras
Founder and President
Thierry has been working with digital initiatives since the arrival of the first Web browsers. His vast experience has led him to explore almost all facets of an Internet project, leading ultimately to the role of coach and advisor to major corporations involved in digital projects, from Radio-Canada and Volkswagen to Crocs and Quebec’s tourism bureau.
For ten years, Thierry’s entrepreneurial side has taken precedence over his consulting practice. In the past decade, he co-founded three digital marketing agencies. Parallel to this, he has also been involved in two businesses that sell digital products: one that markets an analytical Web tool sold to major government agencies and another that operates a clone of Yelp.
Greatify is his most recent innovation. The almost instant success of the product is based on Thierry’s willingness to work closely with his customers to offer them a solution perfectly adapted to their reality. Today, he is convinced that he can develop a unique, pertinent product sure to garner success worldwide.
