BCIC has a new President and CEO

BCIC welcomed John Jacobson as its new President & CEO this week.

John is a seasoned British Columbian entrepreneur and business leader with a track record of identifying new business opportunities and bringing innovative products to market. He got his start as an entrepreneur as the co-founder of a manufacturing company in North Vancouver in 1979 and he hasn't looked back since.

Prior to joining BCIC, John was President and Chief Executive Officer of Monexa Technologies Inc., where he led the transformation of the pioneering internet service provider from the 1990's into a leader in billing and payment services in the cloud. Before Monexa, John held leadership roles at Offshore Systems International (OSI Geospatial), MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates and PSC Group.

"It's great to be part of the BC Innovation Council team," said John. "I'm really looking forward to working with BCIC's partners and doing our part to support the objectives of the BC Jobs Plan by helping entrepreneurs build successful companies and create new high quality jobs for British Columbians."
