Our Story & Mission
Sagentix Advisors was founded on a simple idea: businesses shouldn’t have to choose between innovation and security. After decades helping organizations tackle growth and cyber risks, our founder, Stéphane Raby, saw a better way—one that fuses strategic insight with deep cybersecurity know-how.
Our mission is to help Canadian innovators thrive securely in a digital world.
Our Founder's Journey
Stéphane brings a rare and powerful combination of technical depth and strategic vision to every client engagement. His journey began with a foundation in Electrical Engineering (P.Eng.), providing a rigorous, systems-level understanding of technology. This was fortified with the CISSP, the world's most recognized cybersecurity certification.
Recognizing that technology and security must serve business objectives, Stéphane achieved the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation, the profession's only international certification. His education culminated in an Executive MBA from the University of Ottawa's Telfer School of Management, a program ranked #1 in the world for the second year in a row by CEO Magazine!
This unique convergence of engineering discipline, cybersecurity mastery, and strategic management expertise allows Sagentix to understand not just the technical 'what,' but the strategic 'why' behind your challenges.
