Brian Shepard's leadership has allowed him to evolve a modest web hosting company established in 2002 into Tenzing Managed IT Services, a rapidly growing and highly successful managed hosting company that addresses the needs of SaaS and Ecommerce providers. Tenzing's success has been built upon Brian's continued focus on building a great team, strategic industry partnerships, acquisitions and building a forward thinking and dynamic corporate culture.

After Brian stepped down as CEO of Tenzing in 2015, the company rebranded as Pivotree, and later went public on the TSX in October of 2020.

Brian is excited to bring his experience building great teams and strategizing rapid growth to the quantitative trading industry. In addition to his own entrepreneurial ventures, Brian acts as a mentor for up and coming entrepreneurs and has helped over a dozen entrepreneurs develop and scale their start-ups.
