We’re drawing back the curtain because seriously, these crazy, label-loving, passionate printer people are the blood, sweat, and tears behind Summit Labels. We believe in what we do, and every member of our team embraces what it means to be a part of Summit—to be a collaborator, an innovator, a pioneer of ideas, a platform for you to take your business to the next level. We’re your partners, and our team of highly skilled custom label enthusiasts are here to shake things up in a big way.

Gerald Chang

Managing Partner

Gerald is our fearless leader and a pretty atypical certified accountant–but if you've met him, you know that already. He not so secretly admits (he said this to you right away, didn't he?) that he much prefers the marketing and branding side of business which is why he loves Summit so much. But, that being said, his background in numbers makes him a triple threat around here. Aside from a perfectly timed French press coffee (hold the funny stuff, AKA cream and sugar), Gerald's true passion is working collaboratively with clients to brainstorm unique solutions that drive growth and bottom-line results.

Ryan Lees

Director of Digital Solutions

Clever, funny, and timed just right (or so he thinks), our Director of Digital Solutions is an all-around talented guy who has the unique ability to take a product launch and crank it up to 11 with creative and innovative ideas. This guy has been with Summit since its doors opened back in 2004, and he has partnered with more brands than we can count (alright, we’re being a biiiiit dramatic, we have records). Our only complaint? His jokes…well, they suck—but if you can overlook the puns, you’ll find a guy whose attention to detail and care for your products is second to none.

JORDAN FISCHER

Production Manager

One of the two HP Indigo Web Press operators in Western Canada (the other was Ryan) when he started, Jordan was literally at the forefront of digital print tech in Canada. A giant in press tech Jordan shows up each day ready to take the ball and get rolling - learning and developing new processes and techniques we’ve never seen before (just like he did when he started here 15+ years ago). We can’t think of anyone better than this hockey playing, muscle car loving, golf ball slicing virtuoso to get your wildest labels ideas through production.

JENELLE MOTZ, Summit Labels’ Label Solutions Specialist
JENELLE MOTZ, Summit Labels’ Label Solutions Specialist

JENELLE MOTZ

Label Solutions Specialist

The easiest way to describe Jenelle is to say that she is a lot (and we mean A LOT) of things. Not only did she grow up on a farm and become an accomplished equestrian, she went to the University of Waterloo and is a certified biochemist. But wait—there’s more. Known for her prowess in and out of the rings, Jenelle is a boxing enthusiast and can often be found boxing at a local gym. To say she’s one of a kind would be a huge understatement, and with a background like this, it’s no wonder she’s able to learn quickly, ask thoughtful questions, and understand the needs of our valued clients (don’t worry, all her meetings are scheduled outside the boxing ring).

APRIL MCKENZIE-COOK

Account Manager

April is such a rock-star. As a former elite track and field athlete, she moves quickly to help our clients get their label projects underway. Her friendly demeanour and positive attitude make everyone want to work with her (trust us, it’s infectious), and she expertly utilizes her experience in client services both inside and outside of the office. When she’s not leading community programs for young children, she’s combining skills from her degree in Health Sciences from SFU with limitless creativity, helping our amazing clients every day (okay fine, maybe just Monday to Friday).

ASTRID BOND

Account Manager

Astrid is our coffee-drinking, dream-making, order-processing expert. She genuinely cares about bringing her clients' visions to life and works closely with them to hit deadlines and make s*it happen. She loves the process behind the scenes, getting products ready for the shelves, and making them pop when they get there. Her degree in print-making and extensive experience in graphic design are a massive asset to any design -- and we're seriously proud to have her on the squad. When she's not working with clients and creating solutions, Astrid is designing and printing t-shirts and hanging out with her super cute Shiba Inu, Innis. 

HEATHER DOYLE, Summit Labels’ Account Manager

HEATHER DOYLE

Account Manager

Heather is a one-of-a-kind creative powerhouse who specializes in visual merchandising and building solutions that take products from concept to shelf to the customer's hands. Heather's been with us since graduating from fashion merchandising at Blanche Macdonald. A degree which sparked her passion for working behind the scenes, collaborating with customers, and coming up with solutions for the trickiest of problems. Heather is also our proud Pop Culture Queen. She'll get to know you and your product personally (if only to share personal movie recommendations)! Then, before you know it, she'll be quoting movies and songs you've never heard. Just try and best her in movie trivia (we dare you).

LIZ HELLMAN

Account Manager

Save yourself some time and put Liz’s number on speed dial right now because you’re not going to find anyone else with her 15 years of experience in print combined with academic education in web development. When Liz isn’t gracing Summit with her presence, you can probably catch her taking it easy with music, a movie, or continuing to learn with a podcast. Our talented Account Manager can integrate her technical skills - gained through years of working in customer experience - with project coordination into the digital world. We’re lucky to have Liz on the team; she may have moved around a lot as a kid, but she’s finally landed at her new home: Summit!

ADAM CORMIER

Account Manager

Adam is a rockstar, both literally and figuratively; not only does he play the drums, but he also works at Summit; it just doesn’t get any better than that. When Adam isn’t shredding on the drums, snowboarding the slopes, or burning some rubber on his bike, he’s crushing it at work. Thanks to his past international experiences, he’s learned to gauge his audience and plan, think critically, and thrive in challenging, spontaneous situations. As an Account Manager at Summit, he's able to channel those passions into building strong, long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with his clients. Anyways… we might never get to be as cool as Adam, but at least we get to work with him!

MATTY HUMAN

Label Solutions Specialist

With a strong track record of cultivating a killer work culture and driving growth through innovative customer engagement, Matty’s passion is building brands that become timeless - and, most importantly, having fun while doing it. Matty joined Summit with first-hand knowledge of working with our team from the client side, so he knows what it takes to help our clients achieve their ultimate branding goals. Matty is packing almost 12 years of stories and experiences with an extensive background in craft beer and beverages. This sports nut loves nothing more than cheering on his favourite teams and actively participating in rec league sports of all kinds. Fun fact; he had a beer named after him that we printed the label for, so be sure to ask him about the killer brew that ‘bears his name!

MIKAELA GUERREIRO

Label Solutions Specialist

Meet Mikaela, our newest sales recruit. She’s fiery with a competitive spirit that goes hand in hand with her past leadership role as the captain of the SFU women’s soccer team. Her teamwork and quick decision-making skills on the field have transferred to her position as a label solutions specialist. She’s a team player, quick on her feet, and has a genuine passion for helping people, which is felt when working with her making her an excellent co-worker and an even better label guide. In her spare time, when she’s not discussing all things labels, you can find her out with her dog, watching a sports game or indulging in a bit of reality TV!

MARTA GUASCH

Content Specialist

Eagle-eyed and skilled in design, Marta, our talented content specialist, part-time graphic designer, and resident fashionista, has an eye for detail and a creative outlook, bringing a fresh perspective to the Summit marketing team. She’s a triple threat when it comes to languages. Her native tongue is Spanish, but she also speaks Catalan, French, and English, which have all served her well in her travels. So, when she’s not brainstorming Summit’s latest campaign design, you can find her wandering the globe and immersing herself in new cultures or gracing us in the office with her unique and fashionable style. It’s fair to say she ALWAYS brings her A-game and is consistently dressed to impress!
