Steve Priestley
Chief Operating Officer

Steve has 24 years in the environmental and innovation sector as well 10+ years of C-level management experience. He has worked with municipalities and Indigenous communities across Canada, assisting communities with their water and wastewater needs prior to AltoMaxx.

In 2018 Steve co-founded AltoMaxx Technologies with Chris, as they recognized that the industry was truly lacking professional and credible RPAS training and service providers. Through the team’s hard work and determination, Altomaxx has been able to expand nationally with four offices across Canada and become leaders in the RPAS sector, providing the highest quality outputs on the market. With a vastly expanding global presence, AltoMaxx has become a household name within the RPAS world.

Steve loves the travel and education that comes along with this career, and learning from first-hand experience in the field. He is passionate about his work, and loyal and dedicated to his employees, customers and external stakeholders.
