Everest Solutions – Canada’s Newest School and Imaging Solution

*Everest Solutions hires school photography industry leaders to accelerate its launch in the Canadian market*

*NORTH BAY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 3, 2022 / *Everest Solutions Group is proud to announce the launch of our school photography & imaging company servicing the Canadian educational market; *Everest Solutions*. With our launch, Everest Solutions announces the hiring of Dan Boudreau as President and Arley MacKinnon as Vice President of Operations.

Dan Boudreau is a senior executive with over 25 years of experience in the school photography industry. Dan's experiences range from President & CEO, Director, Regional Sales Manager, Senior Sales Manager and Area Manager. Dan has been in Senior leadership roles within Jostens, Lifetouch and then Edge Imaging. Dan possesses a wealth of knowledge in regard to the digital photography business model (end to end), its relationship to the consumers (customers), and their hosts (schools).

"It's been a privilege to work in the photography industry for so many years. School photography is just as relevant as ever, what has changed is the integration of technology in our systems" says Boudreau. "One of the big changes is how we safeguard our client's information, (Credit card information, Student number, Names…). A large focus at Everest Solutions is to ensure we surpass the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) to ensure we protect all sensitive information. Everest Solutions will have a focus on people, photo quality, customer experience and new technology; this is why I'm excited to be part of this awesome team!"

Arley MacKinnon started in the school photography industry in 2005 with a background in photography. She has spent this time focused on photography quality, picture day execution, photography program development, operations integration, talent and leadership development as well in the Territory Manager role. Arley was a long-standing member of the PPOC (Professional Photographers of Canada) organization. During that time, she earned photography accreditations in Portraiture, Studio Portraiture, School Portraiture and Fine Art. She also earned her CPA (Craftsman of Photographic Arts) and MPA (Master of Photographic Arts) designations with the PPOC.

Arley Mackinnon notes, "Historically, I think it's fair to say school photography has generally lagged behind when it comes to technology and customer experience. I joined Everest Solutions because of their vision to be the change the industry needs right now." "Our goals are simple - we want to capture portraits where people can show off their individuality and feel good about themselves. Make it easy and affordable for everyone, all the while ensuring our school partners have the care and attention they deserve to meet their changing needs. Add in the latest technologies surrounding photography, data security and production, we are sure to propel this industry forward.", says Mackinnon.
