Meet the Founders of Azul Mountain

Behind every clean, well-maintained property is a team that truly cares. At Azul Mountain Property Solutions, our success comes from the dedication, discipline, and heart of our founders, Bruce Smith and Ariadne Quiroz. Together, they have built a trusted property maintenance company serving residential, commercial, and short-term rental properties across Greater Vancouver.

Their story is about more than just property care. It is about community, integrity, and the drive to make every space feel like home.

Our Story

Azul Mountain began as a small, family-led effort managing short-term rentals. Bruce and Ariadne handled everything from cleaning and maintenance to renovations and guest service. They understood firsthand the challenges of property ownership: keeping spaces safe, functional, and welcoming.

As word spread, so did demand. Their passion evolved into a full-service property maintenance business, Azul Mountain Property Solutions, built on their Latin and Black heritage, family values, and veteran discipline.

Today, Azul Mountain proudly serves homeowners, landlords, and business owners who value quality, trust, and reliability.

Meet the Founders

Bruce Smith

Chief Operating Officer

A veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, Bruce brings unmatched discipline, leadership, and problem-solving skills to every project. His background in fire prevention, construction, and hospitality gives him a strong understanding of both safety and functionality.

As an Airbnb Superhost and experienced real estate investor, Bruce has managed and maintained many properties with an eye for detail and a commitment to excellence. At Azul Mountain, he ensures every service, from facility maintenance to handyman repairs, runs efficiently and meets the company’s high standards.

“For me, property maintenance is about reliability. Being the person people can count on when something needs fixing, cleaning, or improving.” — Bruce Smith

Ariadne Quiroz

Chief Executive Officer

With a decade of experience in psychotherapy and more than five years in human resources and operations, Ariadne leads with empathy and precision. She ensures every system, process, and client interaction runs smoothly.

Her background in compliance, payroll, and health and safety ensures Azul Mountain operates with professionalism and care. Ariadne’s leadership emphasizes teamwork, clear communication, and genuine client relationships, which are values that define the company’s success.

“Our business isn’t just about maintaining buildings. It’s also about caring for the people inside them.” — Ariadne Quiroz
