Co-founder & CEO of Vancouver tech company tops the Enterprise Technology category
VANCOUVER, Jan. 4, 2016 /CNW/ - Forbes magazine today announced Vancouver-based CEO Ian Crosby has clinched a top spot on its 2016 "30 Under 30" list. Crosby, 29, is the co-founder and CEO of Bench, the tech company automating accounting tasks for small businesses. Recognized for the advancements the company has made in the accounting space and for the work he's done for fellow entrepreneurs, Crosby took top spot in the Enterprise Technology category.
"This accolade is testament to the fact that a tech company does not have to be in California to succeed," said Crosby. "Finding impeccable talent is crucial to the success of Bench. Vancouver has a lot to offer in that respect."
Growing from a team of four founders to 200 employees in just three years, Crosby has kept all of Bench's operations in-house, in downtown Vancouver.
The company's focus for 2016 includes new service rollouts, increased automation and a launch of the Bench mobile app. Crosby plans to continue onboarding 10 new employees a month to meet demand. This is not the first designation of its kind for Crosby, who was recognized in BC Business' 30 Under 30 in March 2015.
