For more than a decade, I have been working with terrific clients in health care, retail, entertainment and the public sector to design award-winning systems that enable collaboration, triage and data analysis. My expertise includes technology strategy, platform infrastructure, identity and persona management, project management, open source software and emerging technology.
I’m happiest when I can help clients create solutions that enhance their business performance. While technology often enables me, big success is ultimately comprised of hundreds of small victories that emerge from conversations shared with clients, peers and vendors. I am tenacious, have an insatiable hunger for knowledge, and adore sharing my sense of excitement about what is possible.
I hold an M.Sc. in Management from Queen's University and an Honours Bachelor of Commerce from Lakehead University, where I earned the dean's medal for highest graduating average. During my academic career, I placed first in the information systems category of the Queen's ICBC, an international case competition of leading business schools. I also earned the distinction of Best Student Author by the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada for an article I published about the transformative effects of IT on organizational structures. My professional work has garnered similar acclaim, including two ComputerWorld Laureates, the National Award of Excellence from the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society, and the prestigious Grace Hopper Government Technology Award.
Having traveled extensively (North America, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and Europe), I currently live and work in the shadow of the Canadian Rockies, where I write about topics such as virtualization, enterprise mobility and the next-generation web, speak about my experiences at top Canadian universities and collaborate with peers at the world's premier consultancies.
