Our Founder's Journey
Founded by Peter Valach in 2018 after 8 years at Microsoft Canada, Moderná Služba brings together the best of two worlds: Slovak precision and Vancouver's innovative spirit.
Peter's experience managing enterprise IT infrastructure for Fortune 500 companies taught him that small and medium businesses deserve the same level of professional service, but with personal attention and local understanding.
"I saw too many Vancouver businesses struggling with IT providers who didn't understand their unique needs," says Peter. "We built Moderná Služba to bridge that gap – combining international expertise with genuine local care."
Our Mission: To deliver enterprise-grade IT solutions with small business personal service, helping Vancouver companies compete globally while staying locally connected.
