Professional Profile

Business Leader / Professional Engineer

I am an energetic and experienced business leader with a passion for excellence through teamwork and collaboration. I am a licensed Professional Computer Systems Engineer (P.Eng) with experience in acquisition, amalgamation and restructuring of business units across Canada. I have been involved in creating new products, services and brands that bring value to customers and shareholders. I believe that all businesses must have a focus on technology to remain competitive.

When you apply fundamental engineering principles to business, such as an iterative design approach, you can achieve great things! Today's business landscape demands that companies be creative and try new things to provide superior service to their customers. Using a structured and measurable approach enables you to learn quickly and be agile. This is also a great way to engage and motivate employees to work toward a common goal.
