CBL Data Recovery Technologies Co-Founder Zhengong Chang Named Most Innovative Chinese Canadian Entrepreneur

MARKHAM, ONTARIO—(CCNMatthews – Mar 28, 2004) — CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. (www.cbldatarecovery.com), a leading international provider of computer data recovery services, is pleased to announce co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Zhengong Chang has won the Chinese Canadian Entrepreneur Award for “Most Innovative last night.”

The Chinese Canadian Entrepreneur Awards are hosted by the Association of Chinese Canadian Entrepreneurs in association with Centennial College’s Center of Entrepreneurship, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ming Pao Daily News. The purpose of the awards is to promote entrepreneurship in the Chinese Canadian Community, to recognize the contribution of Chinese Canadian entrepreneurs, to encourage new business start-up and to promote social responsibilities in entrepreneurs.

“Winning this award is particularly meaningful for me because it recognizes both my achievements with CBL here in Canada as well as my Chinese heritage,” says Chang. “For someone in my line of work and with my background, being named ‘most innovative’ is very gratifying.”

Chang, son of Tong Chang, one of China’s computer science pioneers, is a native of Beijing and came to Canada in 1988 after five years at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey acquiring his Master’s Degree in Computer Science. He retains close links with family, friends and businesses in part because of CBL’s strong presence in Beijing in the form of a data recovery lab, which enjoys strong ties with the Chinese government.

Chang’s first technology-related job was with IBM’s China Computer Service Center in 1980 and quickly led him to realize how important computers were becoming in the business world and the lives of people in general.

In 1993, he met Bill Margeson, and the two decided to purchase a small computer repair business. CBL Technologies Inc. was established to serve then needs of the growing IT community in Markham, Ontario.

Chang first saw the potential for a business based on data recovery through direct experience: the drive containing CBL’s accounting data was lost and when sent to a specialty company for recovery, the cost was quoted as $2,000. Chang decided he would try to recover the lost data himself, and shortly after CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. was created with one mission: To recover more data than any other data recovery service on the planet.

Since its founding more than a 11 years ago, CBL has grown to employ more than 50 qualified and highly skilled people in many different fields holding degrees in such fields as Semiconductor Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Automation Control, Telecommunications and Psychology. In addition to its network of labs, CBL also offers data recovery services worldwide through 46 authorized partners, including NexInnovations and Toshiba Canada.
