Ian Miersch

Ian Miersch has energy to spare and uses his eclectic background to make a positive mark on the cybersecurity industry. As Vice President of Business Development & Operations, he oversees scalable business growth as Difenda expands throughout North America. What sets him apart is how he accomplishes this. By leveraging his engineering background and critical thinking skills, he has developed unique strategies that balance the company’s current business needs with its long-term growth plans. The results of his unique background and drive mean the company is growing in a fiscally responsible manner, always keeping the customer’s needs at the forefront.

With a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA in Finance, both from McMaster University, Ian’s ability to analyze data and make informed decisions is augmented by his understanding of all facets of the business. He possesses a holistic grasp of the craft, from operations to project delivery and management, to his niche in financial planning. Ian’s ten years of experience in the industry have equipped him with the knowledge to create dynamic teams and manage the resources needed for success.

Outside of work, he channels his energy into helping others through the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Program, earning the Group Recreation Volunteer of the Year status.

Ian also enjoys exploring and hiking with his three young children, exercising to keep up with them, and reading professional development books. He is an avid but generally heartbroken fan of Toronto sports teams, including the Blue Jays, Maple Leafs, and Raptors.
