The founder
Derek Boyd, MBA
Derek spent more than twenty years leading technology at some of BC's best-known companies — running the systems behind packed arenas, busy restaurants, grocery shelves, and online carts. He founded Boyd & Co after watching too many mid-size businesses get pitched by vendors, overwhelmed by jargon, and left without a trusted voice in the room.
The firm takes no vendor partnerships and no referral fees. When Boyd & Co recommends something, it's because it's right for you — there is no other reason.
"Mid-size companies get pitched by vendors, overwhelmed by jargon, and left without a trusted voice in the room. That's the gap I built Boyd & Co to fill."— Derek Boyd, MBA · Founder
