Our Team

As Founders of 8760 back in 2004, Ian and Pierre brought their vision of helping clients better manage their electricity, natural gas and credit card processing costs to life. The credit card processing landscape and energy markets are complex, difficult to manage and rife with misinformation and unsavory sales practices. They knew there was a better way and with that simple notion, 8760 was born. Fast forward to 2024 and under the direction and tutelage of Ian and Pierre, the company has grown to 29 highly skilled professionals serving clients across western Canada.
