I am an international business, brand, and people performance expert, educator, practitioner, and the author of Unconventional Business—3 Startling Truths for Corporate Prosperity®.

As founder of BPh and the Unifying Philosophy® (UPh: a UPh is a company’s DNA in 6 words or less), I help some of the world's best companies (Fortune 1000 and private / family-owned businesses) achieve extraordinary business performance and well-being.

VP Business Development

"I am an enabler who thrives on helping companies turn their vision into reality."

My past portfolio has spanned across the entire business value chain, encompassing all phases from presales to billing, within the quote to cash flow.

I maximize value by providing the cohesive link between business and technology teams. Recognized for the ability to telescope from the macro to the micro and back, I drive alignment between business strategy, implementation and sustainment.

Embedding change management within the delivery cycle and beginning with the end in mind are two key techniques in my approach to ensure quality outcomes for all stakeholders.

Client Success Specialist

I recently earned my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto. While my education focused primarily on sciences, my work and leadership experience focused on physical fitness and improving mental health.

I believe in promoting and improving mental health through any type of physical activity, as long as it keeps the blood running and the endorphins pumping.

One interesting fact about me is that I am an explorer. No mountain is too high, no water is too deep. My curiosity will always get the better of me, and has gotten me into trouble before. From consuming a ghost pepper, (I do not recommend!) to protesting G20 summits (stay way, and I mean way clear of tear gas).

My preferred method of experiencing new cultures when travelling is to find the darkest, most out of the way restaurant and bar, dine on local cuisine, and discuss regional politics with the owner over a glass of wine or pint of beer (depends on the local).

I am excited to be a part of this team and to work on a project that has the potential to improve the workplace for many people.
