I N T O L B L A Z E R S PRESIDENT GAP WIRELESS MARC BOUVRETTE For the interview, see page 40 "Dedication and deter- mination are qualities I bring to my work, so that when I commit to doing something, I'm highly motivated and see things through. If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right. Without getting too lost in the details, I am the kind of person that cares a lot about the small things." WHAT IS A HABIT THAT CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR SUCCESS? Gap Wireless is changing the game within the wireless mobility industry in two ways: one is how we operate as a company, and the other is the types of technologies that we support. While other companies are focused on running "lean" in terms of what they warehouse or stock as a dis- tributor, we choose to do the opposite by stocking as much as we can. We've recently opened new warehouses in the U.S. and in Calgary to bring as much product as possible closer to our customers to meet their needs quickly. As to the products and solutions we stock, we're always assessing and adding new vendors to the portfolio, most recently Unmanned Aerial Vehicle aircraft, sensors, software, defence and support. Our competitors are about a year behind us in doing that, so I would say we definitely have had a game-changing impact. HOW IS YOUR COMPANY CHANGING THE GAME WITHIN THE INDUSTRY?
