Tobias Suenner
Vice President of the GM Canadian Technical Centre, General Motors Canada
We find that there’s a lot of great talent in the market, especially engineers for our manufacturing unit. It’s good to be in Markham since it’s a major tech hub for Canada’s blue chip organizations and innovation companies.
Cyril Fernandes
SVP of Global Business Development , Vexos
Pond located in Markham because it’s a high technology company that needs access to other high technology companies... It’s one of the few geographies that affords us the opportunity to do anything we need within a close limited geography of where we’re standing.
Steve Martin
CEO, Pond Tech
I like being in Markham. It's a tech hub with many things around us — restaurants, entertainment, and great people.
