About Gal Karpfen

Hello! At ~50, I feel like I'm just hitting my stride. My entrepreneurial journey began in my teenage years, driven by a passion for creating value and making a positive impact. In the early I founded Momentus Group Inc, a company that specialized in high-level B2B teleprospecting. This venture taught me the importance of strategic thinking and effective communication, as I helped clients increase their sales opportunities and enhance the efficiency of their sales teams. Seeking new challenges, I joined Distilleau Purification Inc. as the Director of Sales. Here, I built and managed a successful sales team in Montreal and Toronto, contributing to innovative solutions for better drinking water. This role deepened my understanding of the importance of sustainability and quality in the water industry. In 2010, I took a big step and founded Trusource H2O Canada. Our mission was clear: to provide the best drinking water experience with NO-BOTTLE water dispensers. Leading a dedicated team, we delivered excellent service and high-quality products, which eventually led to the successful acquisition of Trusource H2O by Quench Canada in 2021. This milestone was a testament to our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. Following the acquisition, I managed national accounts at Quench Water Canada Inc, continuing to provide top-tier water solutions across the country. This experience reinforced my belief in the power of sustainable practices and the importance of excellent service. Today, I am a partner and the Director of Distribution and Partnerships at KUPA Station. Our mission at KUPA Station is to eliminate the need for plastic water bottles, preventing billions of bottles from being dumped into our ecosystem. We are committed to improving the health of our planet through the mass elimination of plastic bottle waste. My journey has been shaped by a dedication to innovation, sustainability, and excellence. At KUPA Station, we are revolutionizing hydration with sustainable solutions, and I am excited to be part of a movement that champions eco-friendly practices and promotes a healthier lifestyle.
