REfficient is Finalist for Prestigious QuantumShift Contest

Hamilton, Ontario – February 9, 2015 – REfficient’s Stephanie McLarty has been selected as one of five finalists for the QuantumShift young entrepreneur competition. The KPMG and Globe & Mail-sponsored program is a rigorous development course for Canada’s most promising entrepreneurs and includes one spot for an entrepreneur under 35.

Stephanie McLarty is CEO of REfficient, a Canadian-based company that sells refurbished, used, and surplus new telecom products, including digital cables boxes, modems, network equipment and more. The company has become the go-to for Canadian and other telecom service providers to find quality equipment at affordable prices. REfficient has customers in nine Canadian provinces, three Canadian territories and 12 other countries.

QuantumShift is a five day developmental experience for 40 of Canada’s most promising business leaders. The program explores topics that matter to high growth entrepreneurs, such as Leadership, Finance, Strategy and Human Resources. At the same time, the participants become a part of an ongoing elite peer-to-peer network. In fact, many of the QuantumShift are recognizable businesses and leaders in Canada.

The QuantumShift contest holds one spot free-of-charge for an up-and-coming entrepreneur under the age of 35. While regular participants must have revenues of at least $10 million, the young entrepreneurs must have revenues of at least $500,000. The finalists were nominated by their KPMG office and were chosen based on their written submission and video. The winner is decided by number of votes.

McLarty said the prestigious opportunity would be helpful to propel REfficient in its next phase. “I started the company almost five years ago and we’ve grown tremendously. QuantumShift could help us get to the next level.” She also noted the opportunity to work and learn alongside a leading peer group would be incredible, “When you look at who has participated in the past, it would be an honour in itself to be counted among Canada’s business elite. Yet ultimately, the winner is decided on the number of votes.”
