My Experience & Focus
Founder-Led Innovation
I’ve spent my career building companies from the ground up—starting with a vision, shaping the product, and scaling platforms that transform how people connect and transact. From launching Voices.com to creating Lake.com and TravelMint, I thrive at the intersection of innovation, execution, and real-world impact.
Marketplaces & Growth
I specialize in building digital marketplaces and tech platforms that scale—fast. My focus is on designing intuitive products, crafting growth strategies, and building high-performance teams that execute with precision. Whether it’s SaaS, consumer travel, or new verticals, I bring a product-first mindset backed by years of operational leadership.
Entrepreneurial Advocacy
I believe in sharing what I’ve learned. Through writing, speaking, and mentoring, I aim to support other entrepreneurs and contribute to broader industry conversations. I’ve written for Forbes, MIT Sloan, and The Globe & Mail, and I regularly speak at conferences and on podcasts to help founders navigate the journey from startup to scale.
