Nebez Briefkani

Software & startup enthusiast based in Montreal, Canada

Currently Head of Customer Engineering, Canada at AWS Canada helping public sector customers innovate for their citizens. I run a team of forward-deployed software engineers and an investment program focused on solving Canada’s toughest challenges.

Previously co-founded vessel.co, ran engineering teams at Lightspeed, SSENSE, and LXRandCo, and developed for now-defunct Infantry Online.

After two failed ventures and one successful IPO of an omnichannel retailer, I’ve developed deep expertise in ecommerce, retail consumer, and payments industries. I help start-ups in similar industries with product development, technical direction, and growth. Reach out via email or LinkedIn if you want to chat.

I spend my free time advising pre-seed startups on product development and technical direction, teaching young kids how to code, and criticizing software bloat that plagues most companies today.
