I am an innovation and technology leader with over 10 years of experience driving transformation across retail, banking, and public sector organizations in Canada. I’ve helped build and scale innovation programs at organizations such as Loblaw Companies Limited, Walmart, Scotiabank, and most recently Toronto Transit Commission, where I’m helping establish the organization’s first innovation program. Throughout my career, I’ve managed innovation and technology portfolios exceeding $250M+, led end-to-end pilot programs, and supported the adoption of cutting-edge technologies that improve operations and customer experiences. My work focuses on identifying emerging technologies, running pilots, scaling successful solutions, and building strategic partnerships with leading incubators, accelerators, startups, and ecosystem partners. Beyond my corporate work, I’m deeply passionate about mentoring newcomers to Canada. Having navigated this journey myself, I support professionals in understanding the Canadian job market, refining resumes tailored to specific roles, preparing for interviews, and building meaningful professional networks. My goal is to help talented individuals translate their global experience into successful and fulfilling careers in Canada. If you’re looking for guidance on breaking into the Canadian job market, building a strong resume, or navigating careers in innovation and technology, I’d be happy to support your journey.
