Partnerpedia Founder Selected for Business in Vancouver’s Annual 40 Under 40 List

Vancouver, Canada – January 12, 2010 – Partnerpedia today announced Geoff Mair, Founder, President and CTO of parent company Constructive Media, Inc., was selected for this year’s Business in Vancouver 40 Under 40 List. The “Facebook of business,” Partnerpedia is an open social networking community where individuals and companies can build and manage business partnerships. Geoff’s technical vision helped him create and produce a successful Internet offering to companies large and small, returning profits year after year.

Geoff founded Constructive Media in 1997 at the age of 26 after a brief stint with a web-development firm in Seattle, Washington. Witnessing much success during his short time in Seattle, he knew he could tackle the fledgling market for Internet services on his own -- and thus Constructive Media was born. One short year later, Geoff landed Microsoft Canada as a customer, leading the sales, strategy and architecture for its partner website.

In 2008, Geoff and his team launched the free Partnerpedia Open Community for IT business-to-business collaboration, followed by Partnerpedia Private Networks – a private, branded collaboration platform for channel partner enablement, a year later. Geoff’s goal is to grow the Partnerpedia Open Community into the largest business-to-business collaboration community on the Internet, and develop Partnerpedia Private Networks into a must-have technology for all information intensive companies. And he shows no signs of stopping.

“It’s an honor to work with an entrepreneur like Geoff. His successes in this industry are admirable and I look forward to the next big idea with him,” said Mark Sochan, CEO of Partnerpedia. “As channel sales worldwide continue to grow, relying heavily on relationships with resellers, suppliers and vendors, Partnerpedia provides the tools to collaborate and connect with partners anywhere throughout the world.”

“What’s left to do? Let’s see, build a massive community on Partnerpedia, grow our product sales significantly and complete the transition from a services-focused business to a highly scalable products-focused business, and raise my two sons as best as I can,” said Mair.
