Who We Are?

OPEX Canada is run by its Chief Solutions Officer (CSO), David Balaban. Me. The ‘we’ in “Who We Are”, refers to myself and the consultants, teams and partners who help OPEX as a whole achieve results for our clients.

Who is David Balaban?

Over the past 20 years, I’ve owned and partnered in several 7-figure businesses in various industries: Telecommunications, Energy, Health, Dentistry and Home Security. I’ve held a number of senior executive titles: both ‘C’ level titles as well as SVP. My role, my expertise and my passion have always centered around operations: saving organizations money thus driving profitability. Truly, a CSO.

I create systems where there are no systems; I can improve processes when others have failed; and, I can make things better always resulting in significant, measurable improvements in the prosperity of the companies I’ve owned and worked with.

I’ve developed strategic plans, revitalized business processes, created turnkey infrastructures, outsourced operations, implemented leading-edge technology, optimized workflow, managed intricate corporate projects, and enhanced customer relationships.

I believe in a philosophy centered on providing “no excuses….. just results.” Far too many consultants end a meeting with an “it can’t be done” attitude. OPEX prides itself in both its determination and ability to provide a solution that is satisfactory to all parties.

Marketing & Business Development

Guy Reichard, MBA
Chief Marketing Officer

My right hand man is Guy Reichard, in charge of marketing and business development. From core marketing and branding strategies to internet marketing and public relations, Guy has taken on the exciting, risky and very rewarding role of guiding OPEX’s business vision and development.

In other words, he understands what OPEX does best and how our clients benefit most from our work and translates it into tangible business results.

Guy also consults on various projects for clients making our solutions that much more robust and powerful. His education in Psychology and Business give him a strong foundation for market research and analysis. His experience in business, marketing, IT, entrepreneurship and small business give him a platform from which he can execute powerful solutions that help our clients attain strategic marketing advantages.

Why We Do It?

Because it’s a rush! I love creating something out of nothing. Order out of chaos. The more I help others achieve their goals through relationship building as opposed to selling, the more passion I have for my business. I thrive on helping people and their businesses reach higher goals (and make more money).

I started OPEX Canada as a way to spread my arms and reach a wider audience of business owners, including small business owners who could use my help in improving operations and business processes, cost reduction and profit improvement.

I believe there are many good businesses out there but few are great and many are in real trouble. What sets apart the great ones from both the good and the bad is that they’re the ones that are constantly seeking to improve what they already do well. In the areas that aren't core competencies, they outsource to great partners. The difference is knowing what you’re good at and when to ask for help for the areas you’re not.

Who We Serve?

I’ve generally worked with large organizations in the past – energy, health, manufacturing etc. and will continue to serve organizations up to $100MM, 1000 employees.

But since starting OPEX, I’ve had the opportunity to serve smaller businesses ($1-2MM+) and have had some incredible experiences in this area. I find that working directly with the owners or major stakeholders to help them get over their most challenging problems and taking them to the next level is very rewarding.

With that said, we serve businesses that:

• Earn between $500K/yr & $100MM/yr
  
  
• Lead between 5-100 employees
  
  
• Have operation/process issues they are willing to solve and,
  
  
• Are brave enough to ask for help
  
  

How We Work?

“Blank Page Methodology”

We come in without any preconceived methodologies or solutions. We do not try to push the latest and greatest management strategies and tactics on you. We ask a lot of questions first and we listen.

As we assess your business, we identify and evaluate:

• current and future visions, goals and objectives
  
  
• your business model
  
  
• noticeable challenges in operations, processes, systems
  
  
• perceived threats - internally and externally
  
  
• potential opportunities both internally and externally

We work with you to identify and prioritize the areas that require the most attention and proceed to develop the strategic plan and solutions.

Thank you for choosing to learn more about OPEX. I look forward to working with you.
