Bohdan Zabawskyj

Toronto

I leverage decades of C-level experience to help senior leadership teams deliver more business value in less time, align engineering with business goals, and solve systemic problems. I have over 20 years of experience as a CTO/CPO in leading engineering, product, and strategic planning initiatives in both start-ups and large enterprises across diverse domains such as Health, Fintech, E-Commerce, Telecom, Media, Marketplaces, and HR Tech.

I have been involved in several successful exits and acquisitions, including Quandl (acquired by Nasdaq), Rypple (acquired by Salesforce), Audiobooks (acquired by RBMedia), and Clearnet (acquired by Telus). I have also contributed to numerous mission-critical B2C/B2B/SaaS system development and deployment scenarios, developed partnerships with leading suppliers worldwide, and formulated and executed regulatory and policy initiatives.

I am a named inventor in multiple patents worldwide, a founder of Fortay.ai (a DEIB-centric People Experience platform, and a founder of TrueNorthCTO, a pan-Canadian, not-for-profit, and volunteer-driven initiative where over 2,100 senior technology leaders exchange insights in a supportive and collaborative environment.

My mission is to empower and inspire the next generation of technology leaders and innovators.
