ABOUT GORDON MORE
I’m an executive leader and founder specializing in building innovation ecosystems and commercializing applied research into scalable, market-driven ventures. My background spans company creation, multinational growth, and ecosystem leadership—connecting technology, capital, and partnerships to turn complex ideas into durable businesses.I have founded and scaled a technology company into a multinational operation, leading growth across multiple jurisdictions while building teams, systems, and partnerships to support long-term performance. That founder experience shapes how I approach innovation: with commercial discipline, customer focus, and a bias toward execution over theory.Alongside private-sector leadership, I’ve built and operated innovation ecosystems that translate applied research into commercial outcomes. This includes aligning post-secondary research with industry demand, structuring commercialization pathways, mobilizing public and private capital, and de-risking early-stage innovation so it can move from pilot to market. My work bridges research, investment, and operations—where most initiatives either stall or succeed.Over my career, I have mobilized $MM+ in public and private capital, led complex multi-partner initiatives, and supported the commercialization of technologies across energy, infrastructure, and technology domains. I’m comfortable operating across private enterprise, investors, academia, and government—but I lead with a commercial lens, ensuring initiatives are viable, investable, and scalable.What differentiates my approach is an ability to move seamlessly from founding and scaling companies to building the systems that support broader innovation. I focus on outcomes, governance, and repeatable models—creating organizations, platforms, and partnerships that continue to generate value well beyond initial funding or launch phases.I’m interested in senior leadership, strategy, and advisory roles within growth-oriented companies, innovation-driven organizations, and investment- or commercialization-focused platforms—particularly where applied research, technology, and capital converge to create scalable impact.
