I excel at turning complex policy challenges into actionable solutions that drive productivity, innovation, and economic resilience. Whether shaping Canada’s approach to AI, digital governance, automation, strengthening national security frameworks, or supporting the food and beverage manufacturing sector, I thrive in high-stakes environments that require strategic thinking and decisive leadership. With over a decade of experience in policy analysis, regulatory strategy, and stakeholder engagement, I’ve led major policy initiatives across multiple federal departments. From managing teams that drive tech adoption and process automation to crafting legislative frameworks that balance security, privacy, and economic growth, I bring a results-driven approach to every challenge.
