My interest in technology began in the early 1980s when my brother and I received a TRS-80 for Christmas—an early and formative lesson in the power of automation to improve productivity. That instinct carried through to my years as an investment banker, where I built tools to automate routine workflows whenever I found time.

Since then, I’ve launched and led growth equity platforms at two of Canada’s largest institutional investors, CPPIB and OMERS, investing over $5 billion across more than 30 software and healthcare companies in North America, Western Europe, and Asia. Earlier in my career, I was a Vice President at Fortress Investment Group.

I’ve served on the boards of companies including Dialpad, Coveo, TouchBistro, PandaDoc, Celigo, Purpose Financial, and OneEleven. I graduated as the Gold Medalist of my class from Western University and currently mentor in the AI stream at the Creative Destruction Lab in Toronto.
