My career has been blessed with too many firsts to count, boldly disrupting status quo, pushing boundaries and reaping the rewards of big plays powered by collaboration. I'm proud to be a Canadian veteran with military communications/engineering and intelligence experience. Before being called to prepare the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance for the next decade and industry 4.0, I founded a wildly successful digital publishing and strategic communications agency in Qatar, and co-founded an award-winning brain-machine interface med tech company (Canada & Australia) developing a retina implant to return sight to blind people. I've done business in 17 countries and closed over $25M in deals, grants and investment. My sweet spot is the intersection of creativity, technology and business.
