Keith McIntosh
As founder of PLATO Testing, the world’s first Indigenous-led and staffed software testing company, Keith McIntosh has introduced more than 85 corporations, over the last four years, to the value and capabilities of Indigenous people as technology professionals, and has helped to advance cultural awareness and understanding in boardrooms from Vancouver to Halifax and beyond. His goal in founding the company was to address two important issues: our country’s shortage of technology professionals and the high rates of unemployment among Indigenous youth.
“I am grateful to the CCAB for their support of PLATO, and know that together with our corporate and community partners across the country, we can reach our mission of creating a network of 1000 Indigenous software testers from coast to coast to coast.” – Keith McIntosh, Founder, PLATO Testing.
