There is nothing I love more than a transformative idea. I enjoy the early stages of product, brand and business development and get a rush finding ways to propel startups through the most painful stages of viability and product definition over and out to becoming successful, fruitful ventures.
In my university years, I earned the confidence of
my colleagues to oversee and manage millions of student dollars (over $10.5M Operating Budget) as the VP Finance & Administration for the Wilfrid Laurier University's Students' Union.
I Founded Mint Media Labs (now Leo Group), a boutique tech company that developed an innovative new tablet for students years in advance of the proliferation of tablets and the launch of the iPad.
I launched my career at Procter & Gamble in 2007 as a Brand Manager, overseeing just over $36M in business and a $12M marketing budget.
I jumped over to consumer and enterprise technology in 2009 at IMS (Waterloo, Canada) where we launched game-changing connected car services and platforms internationally.
In 2011, me and a couple of pals launched a viral content platform called Brotips. We did 3M hits a month and secured a seed from billionaire-entrepreneur Mark Cuban in Sept 2011.
The platform grew at an explosive rate and in 2012, we sold the property to Woven; a California-based, digital media company.
In February 2012, on the turn of the revolution in Libya; I co-Founded the first American Chamber of Commerce in Libya which now represents the interests of a number of Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 companies from the US, in Libya.
In 2013, I co-Founded LocationGenius, a crowd-sourced analytics company that uncovers invisible data in the physical world by transforming billions of signals from cellular, social and sensor networks into valuable hyper-local insights for retailers, realty, advertisers and the public-sector.
