We at Nakisa are excited to announce our membership with the Council of Canadian Innovators (CCI). By joining this vibrant, diverse network of high-growth Canadian firms that range from Skip-the-Dishes to Coveo, we are bolstering our commitment to advancing innovation in business and policy. As a proudly Canadian company, we recognize the importance of collaboration and advocacy in fostering a thriving tech ecosystem, especially as we embark on a significant growth phase in 2025.
The CCI is renowned for its work in advocating for the modernization of public policies. Through our membership, we look forward to contributing to the Canadian tech and government landscape by sharing insights gained from working with the world’s largest Fortune 1000 companies. Our global exposure and experience have provided us with a wealth of knowledge on managing complex organizations and navigating economic challenges that can help influence policies which benefit our business and the broader Canadian innovation ecosystem.
As we celebrate 20 years of excellence in providing enterprise solutions for complex HR, accounting, and real estate management challenges, we have grown our portfolios of products to include Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS), workforce planning, and lease accounting solutions. Our objective is to empower global businesses to stay organized, maintain compliance, and adapt in an ever-changing regulatory landscape. Joining the CCI aligns perfectly with our goal of streamlining financial, organizational, and compliance processes for global enterprises.
“Our mission is to simplify the complex financial and organizational processes that businesses face,” said Babak Varjavandi, founder and CEO of Nakisa. “Nakisa’s success in global markets reinforces the immense potential of Canadian innovation. As a member of CCI, we’re committed to leveraging our international exposure to support policies and initiatives that drive Canada’s tech sector forward.”
This collaboration will enhance our ability to innovate and adapt while contributing to the growth of Canada’s technology ecosystem. By participating in CCI events and initiatives, Nakisa seeks to both partner with some of Canada’s most influential business leaders and to share insights and best practices gained from working with world’s largest organizations. This is all in service to help elevate the entire industry and inspire innovation across Canada.
“Nakisa’s approach provides essential tools for companies dealing with complex regulatory and financial requirements,” said CCI President Benjamin Bergen. “We’re pleased to welcome Babak and the Nakisa team to the Council as they support businesses in achieving clarity and efficiency in their operations.”
Headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Nakisa is actively expanding its workforce to support our growth trajectory. In 2025, we plan to increase our number of employees by 20%, reinforcing our dedication to building one of the most diverse teams and C-suites in the industry (to explore current job opportunities at Nakisa, visit our careers page).
