We needed a service like ours, but couldn’t find it.
So we built it.
Our origin story.
Our team has bought and built enterprise-level services and technologies for years. So when we founded EasyRedir in 2014, we built the company we always wanted to deal with. That meant creating a valuable service, with targeted features, that delivers on its promise for all of our clients, every single day. That’s why we’re the industry’s leading URL redirection service. And why so many smart companies trust us with their critical business infrastructure.
We’re not just a pretty face.
Our leadership team.
Founder & CEO
William Richards
William has over two decades of experience building web-based technology systems, launching and growing tech companies and baking like a lizard under the sun in exotic places. Admittedly, one of these things is not like the others but he is passionate about all three. William’s technology experiences primed him to found EasyRedir in 2014 where he now balances the demands of leading a rapidly growing company with downtime spent at the piano bench, behind a drum kit and behind the lens of a camera as an amateur photographer. But usually not all at the same time.
VP Business Development
Sarah Ellis
Sarah is a passionate sales and management leader with deep experience in the start-up, technology, real estate, and music/advertising industries. She’s worked around the globe, including positions in Los Angeles and London, U.K. Sarah also brings entrepreneurial experience to EasyRedir, including time running her own bakery, where she served as both CEO and head chef. Deeply committed to her clients, Sarah is also an unusually charismatic, collaborative and respected leader within the EasyRedir organization. Not just because she’s always bringing amazing baking to the office. But partly because.
Customer Success Manager
Shannon Young
Shannon is a seasoned professional in the customer success space. She has years of experience in a wide variety of customer-facing roles in sectors including tech start-ups, automotive service and a brief, non-glamourous stint at a car rental company. Her guilty pleasures include trash TV, tricking others into snowshoeing up mountains and anything candy cane flavoured. Always ready to take on the next challenge, whether it be a new offensive cross stitch pattern or making her dogs sit still for another themed photo, she is prepared for anything.
Director of Software Engineering
Conrad Schilbe
Conrad has over 20 years experience shipping commercial and enterprise software in tech, e-comm, fintech, media and oil & gas sectors. With a background in design and an analytical mind, full-stack development in an emerging company like EasyRedir is a natural fit. When travel is an option, he enjoys working remotely from new destinations, immersing in local activities while searching for the next home base. When not busy fostering cats and dogs, Conrad dives into hobbies such as horticulture, wood working and finding many wonderful things to make with sourdough. Always looking for ways to satisfy his creative and curious side.
Director of Site Reliability Engineering
Wil Knoll
Wil has a diverse set of passions across multiple communities. He’s a founding member and former Director for Protospace, Calgary’s original hackerspace, and currently a Co-MC of the BSides Las Vegas, an information security conference. He’s also a Network Communications Consultant for the annual Burning Man festival. Oh, and just to add some colour: Wil is a three time award winning actor. Not that the awards were very prestigious, but they are awards and they are on his acting resume. So, technically it’s true.
VP Finance
Jodi Bagyinka
Jodi is an accounting professional and serial entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience specializing in accounting, finance and operations management, predominantly in the technology sector. Following nearly 7 years at PricewaterhouseCoopers, and over a decade both employed and consulting for multiple high growth start-ups, she heads up finance for EasyRedir.
