WORK HISTORY
Strategy & Research Leader @Financial Technology Frontiers
Toronto, ON, CA
I lead FTF\'s advisory business to empower the financial services and fintech sector with leading-edge technology and business insights. Backed by a global network of experts, including myself, we guide organizations through their most critical decisions, aligning innovation with impact. Operating at the intersection of deep-tech research and strategic media outreach, I transform complex insights on Cybersecurity and emerging technologies into powerful narratives that FSI Leaders can act on. My work is about identifying what truly matters, amplifying critical shifts in the digital landscape, and equipping industry leaders with data-driven foresight. My goal is to help them make bold, informed investments that shape the future of financial services. In a world where technology evolves faster than boardroom decisions, I ensure right conversations happen, and they happen with purpose.
