Our Team
Sarah Sparks
Founder /CEO
Sarah Sparks has worked in the IT sector for more than 10 years, and focused on digital transformation and helping businesses transition to the cloud.
She has worked with large technology companies to create go-to market strategies specifically for within Canada. Becoming a foster parent had always been a goal. While researching and starting the process, she was made painfully aware of the over representation of Black and Indigenous children and youth in care, two groups she herself belongs to. She encountered a disconnect between applicant expectations and agency engagement due to timelines and the overwhelming caseloads child welfare professionals were given. She felt this was an issue innovation could improve and Alo Solutions was born.

Devin has worked in IT for over 10 years. Working alongside multiple teams and lending assistance to the highest levels, helped him understand the business and technical needs of companies of all sizes early in his career.
Devin now lends his experience and expertise to the Alo Solutions leadership team as Director of Operations and acting Technical Director. Devin is a mixed-race Indigenous person who brings Alo Solutions his understanding of business, technology, and critical theory through an indigenous lens. He is certified in non-violent conflict resolution, with a focus on DEI and anti-oppression principals.
