Daniel Assouline – The CEO Who Dared To Fight Against Spyware

It is said that hurdles and circumstances bring out the hero within us. Not too long ago, Canada and the computing world all over were facing two issues. First was the cyber bullying of school and college going teens. The shocking part was that less than 25% of the crimes were reported to parents. Many parents were not computer savvy and could not understand the problem or how to address it. This came to light when Daniel Assouline, a young engineer and MBA from Queen’s, Montreal, did an online survey of cyber bullying and stumbled upon this information. He immediately started an awareness campaign among students, teachers and parents, and gradually this issue was addressed properly.

Daniel Assouline pursued his interest in the use of technology for business. The second issue plaguing Canada was that the e-commerce business was stagnant as digital traders were facing problems with e-payments.  Because of this, retail sales online were not picking up. The situation was becoming grim and if it had continued further it would have dragged Canada’s economy into recession. Daniel Assouline, as CEO of Upclick, sensed the issue and with his marketing skills got to the root of the problem. 

He realized that if the payments platform were to be strengthened the business would start moving and in a short time the supply-demand forces would kick the economy into action. He with his team were successful in developing a software for payments solutions. The main problem resolved; the e-commerce business was saved and so was the collapse of the Canadian economy. After his formal education and his working life in Montreal, and his role in helping Canada’s economy, he came to be known as Daniel Assouline Montreal.

Canada now has a healthy online business revolution, thanks to Daniel’s state-of-the-art payments processing solutions giving it a much needed shot in the arm. Upclick also provides knowledge sharing on funnel optimization to leading small and medium entrepreneurs in the e-commerce space.

Apart from his innovative business skills Daniel Assouline has lots of charisma and energy. He is made of a different mettle altogether.

He grew up in various places like Congo, France, USA, and Mexico. Being a keen observer he studied the behavior of people in different parts of the world and appreciated their culture and traditions. In later years, this gave him compassion in dealing with his co-workers. He was very kind and understood their emotional needs. His masterly communication skills with employees and business associates were always clear. Employees understood what Daniel expected of them, though he communicated using very few words. The business associates understood their goals and aligned it with the mission of Upclick. He would consider mistakes as a platform to success and never demeaned his employees if they made mistakes. He led from the front and always gave his team mates credits for all the achievements. Daniel Assouline will go down in Canada’s history as a model CEO.
