On February 9th, 2011 at the Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts in Calgary, 250 guests joined Alberta Venture in celebrating the achievements of Alberta’s 2011 Fast Growth 50. Presented in partnership with KPMG, the annual Fast Growth 50 program recognizes those Alberta-based companies that have seen the most significant increase in revenue, assets and earnings over a three-year period. Now in its 13th year, the businesses that made the 2011 Fast Growth 50 list are Alberta’s growth champions and are setting the pace for the fastest growing economy in Canada. >

Success story

by Max Fawcett, Managing Editor

Awards events tend to be remembered more for embarrassing gaffes and alcohol-fueled social infractions than great speeches, but that probably won’t be the case for those who attended Wednesday’s Fast Growth 50 function at Calgary’s Epcor Centre. Instead, they’ll remember the speech that Christians Izquierdo, the CEO of Edmonton-based technology company DevFacto, gave in accepting the award as the top company in our 2010 Fast Growth 50 rankings. They should, at least, because it marked him not just as a rising star in the business community but in Alberta society as a whole. He’s the kind of person that reflects the values that makes Alberta such a good place to do business: entrepreneurialism, ambition and an irrepressible work ethic.
