As founder of PLATO Testing, the world’s first Indigenous-led and staffed software testing company, Keith McIntosh has introduced more than 85 corporations, over the last four years, to the value and capabilities of Indigenous people as technology professionals, and has helped to advance cultural awareness and understanding in boardrooms from Vancouver to Halifax and beyond. His goal in founding the company was to address two important issues: our country’s shortage of technology professionals and the high rates of unemployment among Indigenous youth.
