Harry Zarek

President & CEO at Compugen

Harry Zarek first developed an interest in computers as an engineering student. In 1981, the same year IBM launched the personal computer, Harry started a small business in the basement of his Toronto home, building and selling PCs and setting them up for customers. He called the company Compugen, short for computer generation.

Under Harry’s stewardship, the small basement-based company has grown to become one of Canada’s largest IT solutions providers, with a track record that consistently exceeds the industry average.

Harry’s core principles have always been customer value and satisfaction.

His focus is on sales and marketing activities and developing long-term business strategies to position the company as a trusted partner to its customers and vendors.

Harry holds an undergraduate degree in Engineering Science and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Toronto. He is an active investor and a member of the board of directors for a number of early stage technology companies in Canada and the US, and sits on the board of the Electronic Products Recycling Association.

Harry’s weekend hobbies include road biking and home improvement projects.
