My career has been shaped by entrepreneurship, consulting, finance, sales, operations and organizational leadership.

Across those environments, I’ve developed a simple approach to business: understand the problem, understand the people, challenge assumptions, and turn strategy into measurable execution. I’ve founded and scaled a business across three provinces, led high-performing commercial teams, advised organizations on change, and helped drive meaningful gains in profitability, customer engagement, conversion and organizational performance.
