Joey Tetarenko - Chief Executive Officer
Proudly Métis | Saskatchewan-Born Leader | Advocate for Indigenous Empowerment
Joey Tetarenko is a proud Métis leader from Saskatchewan and the CEO of Stratus Origins, a 100% Indigenous-owned company committed to redefining what Indigenous-led businesses can accomplish across Canada’s industrial and energy sectors.
With a diverse background that spans professional sports, executive leadership, and over 15 years of industry experience, Joey brings a unique blend of discipline, strategy, and heart to the work he leads. A former NHL player, his transition from elite athletics to business leadership reflects a lifelong commitment to resilience, teamwork, and excellence.

Johannes Schauss - Operations Manager
Johannes Schauss brings more than 15 years of experience in the industrial electrical and operations space to Stratus Origins. A Red Seal Electrician by trade, Johannes has built his career specializing in industrial electrical systems, startup, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting before transitioning into leadership, divisional strategy, and operations management. His ability to bridge the gap between technical execution and high-level operational planning allows him to lead projects with both precision and efficiency while supporting strong client relationships and collaborative project environments.
As Operations Manager and Project Manager, Johannes is focused on building and streamlining operational and mobilization frameworks that support Saskatchewan’s growing industrial sector. He aligns closely with the Stratus Origins philosophy of creating meaningful partnerships and building a company people genuinely want to work for.

Grounded in a solutions-focused mindset, Johannes is passionate about solving complex challenges and continuously improving processes. His personal philosophy of embracing challenges head-on was shaped early in life after moving to Canada as a teenager and adapting to a completely new language and environment. For Johannes, operational excellence goes beyond streamlining processes — it’s about executing with integrity, building capacity, and delivering meaningful results for partners, communities, and the people behind every project.
