Martin Coutu

Martin Coutu

Chief Technology Officer
Co-founder

Resourceful and self-taught, Martin is one of the three founders of Thepointofsale.com, where he served as Chief Technology Officer from its beginnings until June 2022. He is the architect behind the company's product technology. Discovering and connecting the world is what Martin is all about!

Martin started doing web development in 1996. Three years later, he became known for his involvement in the QuebecPunkScene.net website. He then founded his first company, Sumo Industries, which specialized in the design of websites and online stores for the music industry. His hard work was rewarded with four nominations in the “Website of the Year” category at the ADISQ Gala, where he won a Félix in 2008. He is also behind the programming of many online stores (Arcade Fire, Feist, Metric, Sigur Rós, City and Colour, Patrick Watson, etc.) and other music-related websites (Stars, The Dears, Vulgaires Machins, etc.). His work made him stand out, and in 2008–2009, our CEO, Yannick Cimon-Mattar, invited him to participate in the creation of Thepointofsale.com, where he held the position of Chief Technology Officer until June 2022. A keen traveller, he has visited nearly 50 countries!

Chief Executive Officer
Co-founder

With a desire to use his 15+ years of experience as a show organizer to help his colleagues, Yannick turned to the ticketing market. As a co-founder and CEO of Thepointofsale.com, he manages project implementation and business development on a daily basis.

Yannick started organizing events at the age of 16, seeing the industry as a great alternative to working in a grocery store or gas station. A decade later, the experience he gained and the shortcomings he observed in the ticketing market led to the creation of Thepointofsale.com. Since then, the company has acquired a strong reputation in the world of event management and it continues to grow! Yannick is a field hockey fan and a city guy, but he also loves nature. While he has travelled extensively overseas, he enjoys exploring his province because he is passionate about Quebec and all it has to offer.

Simon Gaudry

Chief Administrative Officer
Co-founder

A sociology graduate and teacher, Simon has over 35 years of experience as a presenter and booking agent. A co-founder of Thepointofsale.com, he holds the position of Chief Administrative Officer and is also in charge of human resources. Closeness and attentiveness are at the heart of Simon’s work.

A sociologist by training, Simon has been interested in everything related to general culture, politics, and the administration and achievement of music-related projects since he was very young. This is how he got his start as a show promoter in college. This dive into the industry has allowed him to learn the basics of being a presenter throughout his career. To date, he has produced several hundred concerts in Quebec City in bars, theatres and concert halls, along with festivals of all kinds (electro, hip-hop, metal, punk, rock, etc.) and has developed an international network of presenters for Quebec bands whom he has been sending to perform in new venues in Asia and Europe for over 15 years. He is one of the three founders of our company and serves as Chief Administrative Officer and Director of Human Resources.
