Management

Alex Eberts, VP Products and Co-Founder

Alex has been starting companies before they started letting him vote. Equal parts lover and fighter, Alex can debate the finer points of social entrepreneurship while he puts you in an hiji-jime elbow lock. When he’s not knee deep in feature specifications and paper prototypes, Alex can be found watching documentaries and reading books about evolution and complex systems (though not usually at the same time). When nervous, Alex can be calmed with 80% dark Ecuadorian chocolate.

Austin Hill, CEO and Co-Founder

Austin is a long time entrepreneur, avid reader, and likes to think of himself as an OK kind of guy. He’s an active speaker (he speaks in a loud voice every day). In between angel investing, trying to make the world a better place, and leading the Akoha team, he tries to find time to read voraciously and tame his inbox. He’s active in the Canadian technology community as an angel investor and venture advisor wearing many other hats (when not in his trademark Kangol).

Austin reads most everything with an interest in Business Books, Legal/Military/Crime Fiction, Anthropology, Sci-Fi, Biographies, Economics and books about Changing the World. He is also known to travel and watch movies.

Eric St-Jean, Chief Geek and Lead Bug Assigner

Éric hates the third person or using an uppercase “i” to refer to himself. Having spent most of my time dabbing in aerospace electronics, systems and software, my love for Python, for startups and for dark office spaces brought me to Akoha. The awesome team, our engaging project, easy access to Coco-Rico chicken and our red Swingline stapler keep me there. Offline, i like biking in to work in a blizzard cursing all the drivers who cut me off, playing with PICs, reading geeky magazines and hacking my HVAC system.
