I am the Chief Executive Officer at IGLOO Inc. I have been working in the technology sector for past 18 years, working with such industry leading organizations such as MKS, Delrina and Open Text Corporation. My passion is the web and how it can be used as a business tool to connect people, information and knowledge.

Yvette is involved in Business Development activities with IGLOO Inc.- an innovative web 2.0 start-up specializing in On-demand Communities and Social Networking Solutions. The most recent project Yvette spearheaded for IGLOO was the Manufacturing Innovation Network (MIN) – an online knowledge exchange for Waterloo Region manufacturing companies which aims to assist manufacturers to Build Awareness, Foster Innovation and Compete Globally. When Yvette is not assisting associations, organizations, schools and corporations in developing and deploying their online community solution, she enjoys reading, movies, golf, fishing and spending time with her family.

Ivan Chevelev has been a part of the IGLOO project since its infant stages.

He has moved to Canada from Russia at the age of 15 and has settled down in Canada's Technology Triangle.

Jill has been in the technology sector for the past 6 years. Having graduated from University of Waterloo with an Arts & Business Honours, Drama Honours degree, she feels like she has the heart of a nerd, and the brain of an artsy. This makes for a great fit with IGLOO. During the day, Jill works to ensure that IGLOO is becoming the premier social networking solution for many different sectors and verticals. For fun, she enjoys dancing, singing (yes, this includes karaoke), acting in community theatre, reading (there needs to be some time for relaxation!) and volunteering at the Humane Society. Animals help us to learn compassion, patience and unwavering loyalty.

With extensive experience in customer and client services, I am very relationship focused and keen to create postive professional experiences. Presently I spend most of my time with Canada's Technology Triangle. I am also involved with the Waterloo Region Manufacturing Innovation Network as a Community Facilitator.
