ANDREW WATSON - President

Andrew’s 20 years of success in the IT Industry have given him the right mix of business savvy and technical expertise to lead any company to success. However, Andrew’s goal was to establish a company which would reflect all the values important to him and which, in his eyes, are absolutely critical to business success. Starting out when computers were making their transition into the mainstream PC, Andrew charged onto the IT scene on the Coast of BC. Signing on with a major computer vendor in Vancouver, it wasn’t long before he was helping to solidify the company as a leading player in a highly skilled and competitive medical software market. Over the years, Andrew’s attentive attitude towards his clients paired with an impeccable attention to detail has won him the loyalty of numerous corporate clients such as the City of Vancouver, Greater Vancouver Regional District, Children’s Hospital and Price Waterhouse Coopers. Despite of all the success however, the vision of bringing the highly potent mixture of big city experience and small town approach to service was the catalyst that eventually led him to charge into yet another challenge. Voda is proving to be the outlet which allows Andrew the freedom to provide his clients with unparalleled level of service and finally satisfy the competitive spirit which is at the root of everything he does.

MARK ZIENOWICZ - Vice President

Mark's passion for bringing the best and most innovative IT services to the Interior of British Columbia was the core theme behind the idea for Voda Computer Systems. After two years of aerospace engineering at Royal Roads Military College and a degree in biomechanics and kinesiology from the University of Calgary , Mark's ultimate goal was to become a doctor of sport medicine. That goal was postponed when he accepted a posting as a computer technician in Kamloops . Mark's systematic approach to problem solving combined with a winning attitude allowed him to successfully bid for a position managing KPMG's IT services throughout the Thompson Okanagan. Finding that innovation and progress get mired in the red tape of large companies, Mark took the bold step to establish his own IT company – a company which would always be innovative and extremely responsive - Voda was born. Today, it's the Industry's fast pace and diversity of opportunity that provide Mark with the everyday challenge to stay just one step of the competition. His belief in his partner Andrew and the talented team at Voda ensure that he has every opportunity to deliver on his promise of creating the most innovative and progressive IT company in the region.
