My approach
Start with the business. Make the change work for people.
I start with the needs of clients and the people delivering the service. By improving processes and using technology where it adds value, I help leaders reduce friction, improve efficiency and turn plans into sustainable execution.
01 / PEOPLE
Begin with clients and teams
Listen to the people who use and deliver a service, then align priorities around the outcomes that matter to them.
02 / PROCESS
Make work flow better
Remove friction, clarify accountability and build repeatable processes that improve efficiency without losing the human touch.
03 / TECHNOLOGY
Apply technology with purpose
Use trusted data, well-designed systems and practical automation to support better decisions and sustained improvement.
Where I contribute
Strategy with hands-on accountability for delivery.
I partner with executive teams, boards and operational leaders on mandates that cross business and technology boundaries.

Healthcare at national scale
In national healthcare services, led a multi-million-dollar portfolio across enterprise applications, analytics, service management and mobile-enabled care operations serving a distributed workforce.
Regulated pharmaceutical business
In pharmaceuticals, led business systems transformation, ERP modernization and commercial analytics within a regulated environment shaped by quality, audit and financial controls.
Manufacturing and supply chain
In specialty chemicals and food manufacturing, advanced ERP, data and operational systems. Earlier roles in automotive, industrial equipment and packaging built firsthand experience in production planning, procurement, warehousing and logistics.
Across regions and stakeholders
Worked across North America, South America and Europe, partnering with CFOs, owners, executive teams, frontline leaders, vendors and customers.
Global perspective
Think globally. Execute locally.
My work has taken me across North America, South America and Europe, from multinational automotive and pharmaceutical businesses to Canadian healthcare and manufacturing. I understand the value of common standards and the need to adapt them to local regulations, customers, workforces and operating realities.
One direction, different realities
At Syncreon and PdMAIN, I worked with international automotive customers and logistics operations, translating business needs into practical processes and systems. At Mylan, I connected Canadian business requirements with a global technology organization. At VON, I worked across provincial care environments and a distributed workforce.
The constant is collaboration: listen locally, align priorities across borders, and build solutions people can actually use.
