Arnold Leung
Founder and CEO, Appnovation
Technologies Inc.
Age: 28
A
rnold Leung is reading a
lot about Julius Caesar
these days, which is
fitting, considering that
the 28-year-old is expanding
Appnovation, his open-source IT
development service, on a global
scale. "Back then there was no
Internet to manage things; you had
to communicate by pigeons, so
it's interesting that he was able to
organize such a massive country
for so long," says Leung from his
Gastown office. Appnovation,
founded in Vancouver in 2007,
has since expanded to Atlanta,
the U.K. and Asia, and is now
heading east to Montreal.
Although Leung admires
Caesar, he recognizes the
irony of his fascination:
"He got killed in the
end, but at least he was
around for a while."
