Axiom Innovations welcomes new CEO

Axiom Innovations, a business automation, process engineering, and software solutions organization, has announced the appointment of Dong Lee as its new chief executive officer. Joe Fakhri will continue his role as president.

“I first met and started to work with Dong back in 2008, and then our relationship progressed from colleagues to client and finally full circle back to colleagues and now partners,” said Fakhri.

“Dong’s experience and great broker and lender relationships are key to Axiom’s future growth,” he added.

Who is Dong Lee?

Prior to his new role, Lee served as the chief operating officer of Dominion Lending Centres Group of Companies. He also has experience as president of Mortgage Architects Inc. as well as director and executive chair at Mortgage Professionals Canada where he retired from the board in 2022 after serving for five years.

According to his LinkedIn, he has held managerial roles at Scotiabank, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, and the Toronto-Dominion Bank. He received his bachelor’s degree in commerce at the Queen’s University and his MBA at the Dalhousie University Graduate School of Business.

“Under Dong’s leadership, we look forward to pushing the envelope on innovation and ensuring our Scarlett platform is in the hands of all its target audience,” said Fakhri.

“I’m excited to provide strategic direction, but I’m also ready to roll up my sleeves and do what’s needed to grow the company,” said Lee. “It’s exciting to be at the helm of one of Canada’s largest independent POS platforms and an industry-leading payroll provider.”

Lee’s appointment will take effect beginning February 2024.
