I help organizations design and govern projects that are not only successful but regenerative, creating lasting value for stakeholders, society, and the environment.I am passionate about sustainable and regenerative principles and how they can drive resilience and positive change through projects, risk management, governance, and benefits realization.A growing share of the global economy is project‑based, and within the next decade, project investments are expected to overtake traditional “business as usual.” With urgent, high‑impact challenges such as the climate crisis and economic inequality, it is fundamental that projects deliver regenerative solutions and quantifiable outcomes.An experienced serial entrepreneur in ICT, data, project, and consulting organizations, I have been a founding and managing partner of five successful corporations. I have earned over 50 professional qualifications and certifications, including the Canadian FCMC, and hold a GoC Secret Clearance.
