WORK HISTORY
Executive Vice President @Akendi
Toronto, ON, CA
As Executive Vice President at Akendi, I am impassioned with obliterating the crappy digital experiences we all face every day. Through various engagement models I help enterprise and government organizations move past the cookie cutter solutions pushed through by the loudest voices to do the hard thing—moving beyond technical restrictions and politics to create truly useful and delightful experiences. Whether you need an expert to guide or enhance your team, need to spin up an entire innovation squad, or have a project that requires a higher level of expertise/prowess, we have the methods and madness to get you there. Oh, and we’re really nice people.
