RAILTOWN AI STRENGTHENS ADVISORY BOARD AND EXECUTIVE TEAM, ADVANCING A SOVEREIGN CANADIAN AI ECOSYSTEM

Railtown AI Technologies Inc. has appointed three highly respected Canadian business leaders to the company's advisory board: Pat Horgan, Michael Nobrega and John Ruffolo. These individuals join Mike Lazaridis, co-founder of Research in Motion (BlackBerry), whose addition to Railtown's advisory board was previously announced.

The appointments significantly strengthen Railtown's enterprise, institutional and capital markets expertise as the company attempts to accelerate the commercialization of its AI (artificial intelligence) developer platform and agent-based orchestration technologies.

Advisory board appointments

Pat Horgan

Mr. Horgan spent his entire professional career at IBM, retiring in 2017 as chief operating officer of IBM Canada. During his tenure, he was responsible for the successful implementation of major AI and high performance computing initiatives in collaboration with the government of Ontario and the federal government. Mr. Horgan's experience in enterprise technology deployment and public-private innovation partnerships is expected to bring strategic insight to Railtown's AI infrastructure and enterprise engagement strategy.

"Railtown demonstrates the strength of Canadian innovation and highlights the depth of AI talent and companies in the national ecosystem," commented Mr. Horgan.

Michael Nobrega

Mr. Nobrega is the former president and chief executive officer of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS), one of Canada's largest pension funds with more than $100-billion in assets under management. He also previously served as president and CEO of OMERS's wholly owned subsidiary, Borealis Infrastructure Management Inc.

Mr. Nobrega's extensive leadership in institutional capital management and long-term investment strategy provides Railtown with seasoned governance and capital markets perspective. "Digital sovereignty for any country is critical to its independence and transactions with other countries," said Mr. Nobrega. "Railtown's core expertise provides a solution to emerging concerns from Canadian governments, businesses and others about the country's digital sovereignty."

John Ruffolo

Mr. Ruffolo is the founder and managing partner of Maverix Private Equity, a private equity firm focused on technology-enabled growth and disruption investment strategies. He chairs the investment committee, guides the strategy of the firm, and is deeply involved with financing, and sourcing and leading investment opportunities, particularly within the technology industry. Mr. Ruffalo is also the founder of OMERS Ventures, and co-founder and vice-chair of the Council of Canadian Innovators.

"I'm excited to join Railtown's advisory board at a defining moment for AI-driven software development. Railtown is building the tools that will power the next generation of intelligent applications, and I look forward to supporting its growth and impact," noted Mr. Ruffolo.

Leadership appointment

Railtown would also like to announce that Dr. Tom Corr, the co-founder of AI Partnerships Corp., the company's recently acquired subsidiary, will be joining Railtown in an official capacity as director of corporate development.

Dr. Corr previously served as president and chief executive officer of the Ontario Centres of Excellence for 10 years, where he played a pivotal role in advancing commercialization initiatives and strengthening industry-academic collaboration across Ontario's technology sector. Prior to that, he held the joint positions of president and CEO of the Accelerator Centre at the Waterloo Research and Technology Park, and associate vice-president of commercialization at the University of Waterloo.

Dr. Corr brings extensive experience in innovation strategy, venture development and technology commercialization. In his new role, he will support Railtown's corporate growth initiatives, strategic partnerships, and expansion across enterprise and institutional markets.

Strengthening Canada's AI ecosystem

"This announcement is a further reflection of Railtown's mission to build out a truly Canadian end-to-end AI development ecosystem," said Cory Brandolini, founder and CEO of Railtown. "As a Canadian technology company, we are proud to work closely with other Canadian technology providers to create a sovereign AI ecosystem that develops talent, drives innovation and retains world-class capabilities right here in Canada. The addition of Pat, Michael, John and Tom strengthens our leadership as we continue to deliver on this vision."
