About the Team Members of IGL Coatings USA Ltd
Joel LaPalme ([email protected])
It all started at the age of sixteen, in his hometown of Haileybury, Ontario, where Joel started working at the local IGA. From there his love of the retail industry grew and led him to eventually move on to managing and directing companies such as Price Club/Costco, Business Depot/Staples, Loeb/Metro, LCBO and Aurora Importing. He has been highly sought after for his technical skills, industry reputation and real world experience which has enabled him to reach retailers and persuade consumers.
In business today you need to do more than only sell! You need to manage! Joel is a “no holds barred” forward thinker.
Today Joel and his associates are helping companies by getting their products to market. Every detail from showing your product line to retailers, looking at how to increase your sales, helping stores with merchandising, to building an advertising program to training your sales people; Joel and his associates deliver quality service.
Jeff Kary ([email protected])
With over two decades of management and sales experience, Jeff Kary has developed a keen sense of how successful businesses operate. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family in Calgary’s oil and gas market gave Jeff a taste for business.
Having began his career selling seismic data in the oil and gas market, Jeff quickly learned that he is a person who likes to be in charge of his own destiny. Jeff purchased his first company in that market in 1997 and since then has owned, partnered and founded several businesses. Jeff’s diverse career has garnered him experience in a full range of services from sales and marketing, to finance, and further to acquisitions and divestitures. Holding positions such as VP Sales and Marketing, President, and Chief Operating Officer of a publicly traded company that he co-founded taught Jeff the intricacies of coupling a strong knowledge of finance with excellent customer service.
In addition to Jeff’s business success, giving back to his community has always been a priority. Jeff organized annual volunteer days for his previous company where they would take clients and staff to an Easter Seals Camp facility where they would help prepare the camp for its special visitors each year. Jeff has also aided the local youth shelter in the obtaining of funds and the actual installation of a new kitchen. He has done work with the local woman’s shelter, heart and stroke foundation and several other philanthropic causes.
