A Little About Us
Driven by a shared passion for the Okanagan and a belief in sustainable solutions, Eric, an autonomous vehicle engineer, and Tiana, a business strategist and former-managing consultant, founded Albatross Automation.
Eric and Tiana grew up in the Thompson-Okanagan region. After studying in Vancouver, working in Toronto, living in Paris and travelling to over 40 countries, the Okanagan kept calling them back. Based in Kelowna, Eric and Tiana are proud to apply their expertise to make an impact at home.
With a love for golf and a deep commitment to the community, Eric and Tiana are revolutionizing golf course maintenance in BC, one automated mower at a time.
