Albert Bou Fadel

Albert is the founder and CEO of SmartBarrel. He spent over 10 years in construction - co-founding a glazing factory, working on projects from Montreal to a $3.5 billion resort in the Bahamas, and learning firsthand why workforce tracking with clipboards doesn't cut it. After managing crews with clipboards and watching even the most experienced superintendents struggle with accurately tracking hourly labor, he got fed up with time theft and inefficiency. Albert tried every timekeeping solution on the market, from software to RFID tags to iris scanning. When he couldn't find a solution that actually worked, he taught himself coding and electronics and built SmartBarrel. Today, he's obsessed with building the easiest and most accurate timekeeping solutions to solve the challenges that construction contractors face every day, because he’s been there.
