www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, June 9, 2016 | 32 Path to success can be found by following your passion: Romanow continued from p.13 integrated fishery that distributed high-end sturgeon caviar to luxury hotels and restaurants. Romanow knew she didn't want to be an engineer in her first year at Queen's, so she went into business and "got started there," she said. "You should never feel restricted to the career path you studied or what you're technically qualified to do. It's really about doing things you love and industries you love and feeling open to new opportunities," said Romanow. Following the summit, the awards ceremony recognized the contributions of tech companies that have developed innovative and commercially successful products and/or services in Halton. Chosen from 14 nominees, the four recipients were Oakville's Geotab Inc., Burlington's Adlib Software and Milton's Advanced Test & Automation and Enable Education. The latter picked up the One to Watch Award as an early-stage startup or company. Geotab Inc. CEO Neil Cawse said it's "really neat" Haltech is recognizing companies for their contributions in the tech industry. "It lets other companies aspire to get the award next year and it creates an awareness of all the great things that are going on in Halton that nobody even realizes," said Cawse. "It's really important we get out there and talk about some of the great things that are happening, so we can show the world that we're world class and we can produce world-class technology right here in Oakville." Cawse is most proud of the company's 215 employees, who live in Halton and are a "testament to where we live and how great this area is." Even though Enable Education garnered the One to Watch Award, president Ben Zimmer noted he founded the organization more than 10 years ago with his wife, Amy Leask. "It's exciting to finally be called an overnight success or one to watch," he said. The organization received six to 12 leads from Halton companies at the summit, Zimmer said, which could result in "fantastic clients for us." "It's extremely important to have this ability to meet other high-end, growing companies that are really pushing the envelope because they're ideal clients for us," said Zimmer. Getting a Halton Innovation Award means a lot to Adlib Software's employees because they put their "heart and soul" into the work, said Jean Ouellette, VP of Research and Development. "I'm very happy with this because technology is really close to my heart. We're all focused on advancing the technology for the company, so winning an award is really exciting for us."
