Yves Riel is an experienced product-focused technologist and angel investor with 11 years in software roles and a two-decade engineering background rooted in aerospace and simulation. He leads Okapya Software Solutions building marketplace integrations for Atlassian, monday.com and Shopify, while advising startups through Anges Québec and serving on HeroCoders’ board. At CAE he moved from flight-control modeling to architecting SDKs and championing Agile, TDD/BDD and UX governance—efforts that reduced development time and institutionalized best practices. Yves combines deep systems thinking with a bias for products that let technology do the heavy lifting for users, and he often bridges technical strategy and product vision in both corporate and startup contexts. A mechanical engineering master’s graduate, he brings uncommon domain breadth from low-level simulation code to modern SaaS marketplace products.
