Driving the digital transformation is no easy feat; to do it, PureSpirIT is powered by a workhorse team of industry professionals and subject-matter experts:
Brian Doxtator – Chief Executive Officer
Brian Doxtator is a business leader with nearly 40 years of varied experiences – from primarily technical roles in the early stages of his career, to managerial and organizational leadership roles over the course of time. During his career, he has been a Professional Manager, and over the past 15 years, a Business Owner as well, understanding the needs for growing teams, growing organizational capacity and growing customer satisfaction, to facilitate long term business expansion and success. Growing up in the Bay of Quinte area provided him an opportunity to embrace both the countryside and small city Canadian life. He has lived in the Greater Toronto Area, and for the past 24 years, has had the great fortune of living in Ottawa, a City that combines rural and urban life in a wonderful way. As a member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, Brian relishes the time he can spend in the Quinte area, on his family property nearby to the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. This connection to his heritage and formative years has played a big part in his development as a business leader and, he hopes, as a good and decent person. An engineer by education, Brian is a member of Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) and until 2021, also was a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta.

With a continual growth mindset, all this experience has enabled Coreen to become a strong leader and trusted technology advisor within the defense, cybersecurity, and intelligence community. Being involved in various industry organizations, Coreen has been an advocate for Small Medium Canadian Enterprises working in the Canadian defense sector, establishing women led/owned procurement policies and socially responsible policy for Indigenous business working with the Canadian Federal Government. She has continued investments in women owned and led businesses through programs such as SheBoot and defense focused startups as an investor/advisor with One9 Investments.
