Noulan

Visitors to
Noulan's home office at Lockehaven often ask him why he needs three
computer monitors. The answer, of course, is he needs to be able
to see around the cat.
A Professional
Engineer and Certified Management Consultant, Noulan has been assisting
advanced technology companies in BC with international marketing
as an independent practitioner since 1990. He has visited 40 countries
and done business of some kind in 27 of these. He volunteers for
several mentoring programs to help young entrepreneurs, including
Junior Achievement and the BC New Ventures Competition. For additional
information on his consulting practice, see www.strategynavigator.com.
While a student
in the 1960's, Noulan spend two summers surveying in the barren
lands of the Canadian Arctic, working his way down the west coast
of Hudson Bay and west across the 60th parallel of latitude. He
camped on hill tops and traveled by helicopter, with a day off every
week in base camp, often located in an Eskimo village. He took a
year off school when he was 20, traveled to Europe by freighter
and toured around for 6 months on a motorcycle, practicing the French,
German and Spanish he had learned in school. After returning to
Canada he completed his degree in electrical engineering at the
University of Toronto. One summer during that time, he hitch-hiked
to BC and worked in oceanography in Nanaimo, BC on Vancouver Island,
returning for the following summer as well.
Upon graduation
in 1971 he went to Thailand as a volunteer through CUSO, the Canadian
equivalent of the US Peace Corps or British VSO, and taught electronics
engineering for two years. Although he lived just outside Bangkok,
he was near enough to go downtown on his motorcycle for the evening
to visit the bars for Thai language practice. On weekends, he took
friends out for cruises on the canals in his long-tailed boat. During
his two annual vacations, he traveled extensively throughout Southeast
Asia by motorcycle and train. He took 6 months to get home, stopping
for 3 months along the way to teach electronics for the UN in Kathmandu
Nepal for 2 months and to do a month of trekking from Pokhara up
to Jomson (near the Tibetan border) and back.
Between 1975
and 1990 he worked for four companies, selling electronic systems
in North America, the Pacific Rim and Europe.
Since 1978,
he has bought, renovated, rented out and sold a number of residential
properties in the Vancouver area and in Whistler. Most recently,
he acted as the general contractor and project manager for the large
two-year renovation project required to restore Lockehaven and create
its B & B suites.
Recreational
activities and hobbies to which he has devoted significant time
have included: swimming, camping, canoeing, SCUBA diving, sailing,
amateur radio, flying, languages (French, German, Spanish and Thai)
and skiing. More recently he has taken up golf and kayaking.
