Marianne started her career at Research In Motion (now BlackBerry), where she was focused on Process Development for Software with the Cellular Technologies engineering team. She helped scale the QA team by establishing processes, automation tools and best practices for global QA centres. She has then transitioned to focus on local tech startups in Waterloo.

George Wagner
Product Evangelist & Founder
George began his professional career as an entrepreneur, turning his archery hobby into a successful retail store. He created, owned and managed the Bow Shop (now part of Shooter’s Choice) in St. Jacobs and Waterloo for 35 years, focusing on offering exceptional customer service by hiring employees who are experts in the field of archery. During his tenure at the Bow Shop, he worked with many local and international companies to develop successful processes for product returns and warranty management.
George brings a breadth of knowledge and experience to Toxon Technologies and has a deep network of contacts with industry leaders and market influencers which has been invaluable to understanding the archery industry and building the accessory that best suits it.
