About
our company

At IB7 Consulting Ltd., we connect Canadian companies with the world — and bring the world to Canada. Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with deep roots across Mexico, France and Canada, we bring 10+ years of international business experience across aerospace, trade, and strategic consulting. We operate at the intersection of market intelligence, relationship networks, and execution — serving Canadian SMEs going global and foreign investors entering Canada.

Vision

At IB7 Consulting, we’re committed to being the leading partner for companies on their journey to global success. We drive innovation with forward-thinking strategies, forge strategic partnership that unlock new opportunities, and build sustainable growth for the long term.

IB7 Consulting was founded by Jose Manuel Castellon Alvarez on a simple belief: that geography should never be a barrier to growth. Having lived and worked across Mexico, France, and Canada, Jose Manuel saw firsthand how difficult it was for capable companies to cross borders without the right partner. He built IB7 to solve exactly that problem — combining strategic foresight with hands-on execution, multilingual capabilities in English, Spanish and French, and a deep network across the Canada↔Latin America and Canada↔Europe investment corridors.

Our Story

That experience became the foundation for the EDGE framework — IB7's proprietary four-stage methodology that brings structure, transparency, and accountability to every cross-border engagement.
