As a seasoned Certified Management Consultant, I represent the top echelon of consulting world-wide. Having sat on the Greater Toronto Area CMC Chapter’s Board for more than 5 years, and held the roles of Professional Development Chair and FCMC Ontario Nomination Committee Member for 3 and 2 years respectively (as of 02/2024), I am at the forefront of consulting and the consulting industry.

I have had the honour and privilege of leading several start-ups, organizations, and committees in for-profit and not-for-profit environments.

Managing initiatives, departments, businesses, and collaborative projects is second nature to me.

My education has always focused on Entrepreneurship at its core. My capstone course included starting a new venture, and I have been researching, validating, launching, and running new ventures since 2006. The unique set of skills, education, experience, and expertise that I have are best exercised in two areas: Strategy and Entrepreneurship, and the latter is essentially an application of the former.
