Our Team
Silvia Wouters
Owner/Managing Partner-Business
Learn More
Born in the Netherlands and raised on a dairy farm near Gouda, after immigrating to Canada in 2005, Silvia began forging a new path with ComputerAid Professional Services (now ITS Global) as Accounting Officer in 2006. Combining extensive professional accounting experience with her farm background, Silvia loves the variety that comes with managing so many different departments of the company, from Support, Technology, and Development to Finance. Getting to help the best clients in the world is just the icing on the cake! Speaking of which…Silvia still speaks Dutch fluently, and while she loves Canada says she will probably never give up some favourite foods from her homeland: sandwiches with chocolate sprinkles, Stroopwafels, and Gouda cheese!
Drew Mason
Owner/Managing Partner-Operations
Learn More
Although born in Ontario, Drew has spent his entire adult life in Alberta raising a wonderful son with his beautiful wife. After graduating college with honors as an IT Professional, Drew started his career working in law firms downtown Calgary before joining the team at ComputerAid (now ITS Global). Although the switch from working with legal professionals, to farmers and cattle might seem radical, he has always described the change as “using the same set of skills, just dealing with a different type of bull… manure”.
While Drew does not speak fluent Dutch, after working with Silvia for so many years, he has learned the good words from the bad, but has yet to comprehend which ones mean “stop talking”.
Combining passion for technology with admiration for the livestock industry developed over 15 years has given Drew a unique perspective and a natural ‘devil’s advocate’ approach to complement the amazing ITS Global team.
When he finally leaves the office, Drew enjoys spending time around a campfire with family and friends as well as the occasional round of golf, usually giving his dad unsolicited lessons.
