Nathalie Kyriakou

Nathalie Kyriakou

Nathalie Kyriakou is a marketing and communications leader with over 20 years of experience turning ideas into meaningful impact. She has built her career across technology, finance, and consumer goods, always guided by the belief in making a difference in people’s lives. As Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Nolos, she leads strategies that protect families, simplify legal and financial services, and make vital tools more accessible. Beyond her professional responsibilities, she is committed to community involvement, supporting initiatives that strengthen families, promote education, and provide access to essential services.

Born in Beirut and raised in a trilingual household speaking English, French, and Arabic, Nathalie grew up in a culturally diverse environment that helped her connect with people from different backgrounds. This ability to relate to others has been an important part of her success in marketing and communications.

After earning her Bachelor of Business Administration from HEC Montréal, Nathalie began her career in 2004 as Marketing and Communications Manager at Groupe Deschênes. In this role, she learned how to shape a brand’s voice, build its reputation, and ensure marketing strategies supported business objectives.

In 2010, she joined Rogers Communications in Montreal as a Senior Marketing Specialist, working on acquisition and retention campaigns for consumer services. This position strengthened her skills in campaign execution, media planning, and creative storytelling. By 2013, she became Marketing and Digital Manager at Beiersdorf, the company behind Nivea. She was responsible for national advertising campaigns, public relations efforts, and brand ambassador programs, using digital channels to boost brand visibility and awareness in the Canadian market.

In 2015, Nathalie moved into financial services as a Financial Mortgage Advisor at La Capitale, now Beneva. Over the next five years, she guided clients through important financial decisions with honesty and clarity. Her dedication to client care earned her recognition as one of the Top Financial Mortgage Performers for three consecutive years and one of the Top Mortgage Sales Performers for two straight years. She focused on building lasting relationships, ensuring each client felt informed, supported, and confident in their decisions.

In March 2022, Nathalie joined Nolos, a LegalTech and FinTech company based in Montreal, as Vice President of Marketing and Communications. Nolos is dedicated to making legal and financial services more accessible, affordable, and easy to understand, particularly for families in Quebec. Nathalie oversees brand strategy, positioning, and communications, ensuring that the company’s voice reflects its mission and values. She leads marketing campaigns for services such as digital wills, estate planning, and financial tools, initiatives designed to educate and empower people to protect their families, homes, and assets.

Her approach to leadership is built on giving back and making a positive difference. She believes legal wills and financial planning are essential for protecting loved ones and that these topics should be communicated clearly and without unnecessary complexity. Fluent in English, French, and Arabic, she can connect with Quebec’s diverse communities, helping to share Nolos’s message of accessibility, education, and empowerment.

Nathalie’s career achievements have been recognized at every stage. At La Capitale (now Beneva), she received awards for being among the top performers in financial mortgage sales for two consecutive years and in financial mortgage performance for three consecutive years. She has contributed to national marketing campaigns for major brands such as Nivea and Rogers, blending creativity with measurable results. At Nolos, her leadership has shaped a brand identity based on clarity, trust, and relevance, positioning the company as a leader in accessible legal and financial services for Quebec families.

Outside of her corporate role, Nathalie is actively involved in her community and church, helping people access resources that protect their families and prepare for the future. She values kindness, connection, and the importance of family, striving to make a difference in the lives of those around her.

Her personal life centers on her family, who inspire her in both her work and personal journey. She enjoys traveling, swimming, sailing, and reading, especially books on leadership, branding, and personal growth. For Nathalie, life is about meaningful connections, shared experiences, and appreciating both significant milestones and everyday moments with the people who matter most.

Salomon Murciano

Salomon Murciano

Salomon Murciano is a Venezuelan-born professional who has established a steady presence in the global apparel and off-price distribution industry. His work centers on connecting international supply with retail demand through practical, reliable methods. He focuses on ensuring that branded merchandise moves efficiently across markets while maintaining strong relationships with partners. His approach reflects consistency, discipline, and a commitment to building long-term value through careful execution and trust.

Salomon began his path in Caracas, where he developed an early curiosity about trade and the movement of goods. He took initial steps by sourcing inventory from China, gaining firsthand exposure to manufacturing systems and supplier relationships. This experience provided him with a clear understanding of how global sourcing operates in real conditions. Over time, he used this knowledge to create a structured approach that supports scalable growth while remaining grounded in practical experience.

Salomon Murciano recognized an opportunity within the off-price market as he gained more insight into supply chain inefficiencies. He observed that excess inventory from brands often remained underutilized, while retailers continued to look for affordable, branded products. By sourcing closeout merchandise and placing it into established retail channels, he was able to address this imbalance. This shift allowed him to expand his operations steadily while strengthening connections with both suppliers and buyers.

Salomon has developed a reputation as a dependable distributor who values clarity and consistency in his work. He has worked with major off-price retailers, helping them access quality merchandise at competitive prices. His understanding of demand cycles allows him to align supply with market needs effectively. He focuses on meeting client expectations while maintaining strong communication, which has helped him build long-term relationships based on reliability and mutual trust.

Murciano operates across key global regions, including Asia, the United States, and Latin America, managing complex logistics and large-scale inventory movement. He remains actively involved in the operational side of the business, including evaluating inventory opportunities, negotiating deals, and overseeing delivery timelines. This hands-on approach keeps him informed and enables him to respond quickly to changing market conditions, ensuring consistent execution across regions.

Salomon Murciano has also expanded his work into real estate, focusing on low-income multifamily housing where he sees long-term value. He applies the same practical mindset used in his distribution work, identifying opportunities that offer stability and meaningful impact. In addition to his business efforts, he contributes to charitable initiatives, including supporting schools, helping fund tuition for children in need, and donating to food programs serving underserved communities.

Vajira Samararatne

Vajira Samararatne

More than 300,000 members, over $30 million paid in claims, and a 98 percent customer satisfaction rate describe the company Vajira Samararatne has built. An entrepreneur, business consultant, and business executive, he founded CoverageX, a rapidly growing provider of vehicle protection plans and home warranty services with strong third-party review scores. His model is customer-first by design, resting on transparency, direct support, and simplified claims management in a field long faulted for complicated contracts and uneven service.

CoverageX operates across two product lines that share a customer concern: the unpredictable cost of keeping essential things working.

On the automotive side, repair bills have risen with advances in automotive technology, electronic systems, sensors, and drivetrain complexity. CoverageX vehicle service contracts are designed to help owners manage those unexpected costs. The company illustrates the exposure with a specific figure, citing an average engine repair cost of approximately $9,292 for a driver without protection coverage, which reframes a service contract as practical financial planning rather than an optional luxury.

On the home side, Vajira Samararatne moved the company into home warranty services so it could serve homeowners facing repair and replacement bills on household systems and appliances. Those plans cover heating systems, cooling systems, plumbing infrastructure, electrical systems, refrigerators, and water heaters, with optional add-ons available for swimming pools, spas, guest houses, wine coolers, and additional air conditioning units. Rather than requiring several disconnected policies, the company folds systems and appliance protection into one comprehensive plan that customers tailor with add-ons.

Automotive coverage is organized into four primary tiers.

Essential focuses on core mechanical systems, covering engines, transmissions, drivetrains, seals, gaskets, and applicable turbocharger components. Signature expands into electrical systems, air conditioning, and suspension components. Premium introduces advanced technology coverage and broader system protection. Executive is exclusionary, meaning systems are covered unless they are specifically listed as exceptions.

Locked-in pricing runs alongside the tiers. Under this feature, promoted throughout Vajira Samararatne's tenure, CoverageX says customers can maintain their coverage rate for life as long as their policy stays active, a response to buyers worried about rising service costs and future premium increases.

Protection companies have historically leaned on contracts and exclusions, leaving consumers unsure what coverage really meant. Vajira Samararatne founded CoverageX with the opposite instinct: protection services should feel supportive, not complicated, and clarity became the company's identity.

CoverageX states openly how vehicle service contracts work, what they include, and what they leave out. It also puts out educational material on claims procedures, roadside assistance, repair coordination, and the maintenance responsibilities customers retain. In practice, that philosophy shows up as online quotes delivered in minutes, roadside assistance included with vehicle protection plans, claims support available 24 hours a day, year-round, and approved repairs paid directly to repair facilities.

Scale in this industry depends on operational structure. Customer support, claims management, and payment systems have to work together, and CoverageX formalized that into a four-step claims process.

The member contacts the claims department and reports the issue. Qualifying automotive claims may include temporary transportation support while the vehicle is out of service. Claims advisors then review the coverage and coordinate with the repair facility. Finally, CoverageX pays the approved repair shop directly.

That last step is a deliberate choice. Direct payment means customers are not forced to absorb a large out-of-pocket repair expense and then wait on reimbursement.

Under Vajira Samararatne, customer experience functions as a central business strategy rather than a support function. Many companies advertise good service. CoverageX puts service quality at the front of its public identity.

Company materials report a 98 percent customer satisfaction rate and a 4.5-star rating on both Google and Trustpilot, and the company promotes an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau as part of its trust-building work. The 30-day money-back guarantee serves the same purpose from the buyer's side, lowering the risk for new customers and easing hesitation among consumers uncertain about protection plans.

Relationships with established automotive and service brands form another pillar of Vajira Samararatne's leadership. Publicly listed partners include AAMCO, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Meineke, Pep Boys, Take 5 Oil Change, and Valvoline.

Each relationship strengthens the operational network while adding recognizable names to the service ecosystem customers rely on. That matters because CoverageX operates nationwide, and access to reliable repair and service networks is what keeps the experience consistent from one part of the country to another.

The through line in Vajira Samararatne's work is straightforward. He has built a business in which the promises made at the point of sale- clear terms, fixed pricing, fast support, and direct payment- are the same promises the operation is engineered to keep.

Ahmad Farzan

Ahmad Farzan

Ahmad Farzan is the founder of Evaluat, a real-browser performance testing platform built in the UK. He spent years building and load-testing high-traffic Adobe Commerce and Magento storefronts, where an all-green load test routinely failed to explain what customers actually experienced on the busiest day of the year.

That gap is the work. Evaluat runs every virtual user in its own real browser and records Core Web Vitals, Navigation Timing, session video, network logs and console output for each one, so a failure that hits a handful of shoppers shows up as evidence rather than disappearing under a p99 average.

He speaks about performance testing that measures the browser rather than the server, Core Web Vitals under load, and why ecommerce checkouts break in ways protocol-level tests cannot see.

Most events also ask for a short version, so keep this one ready.
