Let’s be honest — no kid dreams of becoming a product, data and AI specialist. Astronaut? Sure. Rockstar? Obviously. But “someone who builds predictive models to guide executive decisions”? Not so much. Mine started, quite unexpectedly, with a broken school computer lab, a stack of Excel sheets, and an urge to figure out why nothing worked the way it was supposed to. That tiny itch — to untangle messy problems — turned into a full-blown obsession. Fast forward a few years, and I was neck-deep in Python scripts, SQL queries, and enough post-it notes to wallpaper a small house. Somewhere along the way, I realized: I didn’t just like finding answers. I liked asking the right questions even more.

Me in a Nutshell

I’m a Product Person and AI nerd who accidentally turned curiosity into a career. I’ve lived, studied and worked in 7 countries across 3 continents, built things with data, broke a few dashboards, and somehow made it all look intentional. Most of my job involves turning chaos into clarity, asking “why” too many times, and making charts that actually mean something. When I’m not doing that, I’m upside down in a yoga pose, trying to keep my plants alive, or quietly judging poorly labeled pie charts.

Home town -Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Based in Toronto, Ontario, I bring a global perspective to data AI and product while staying grounded in Canada’s vibrant tech ecosystem. With years of experience helping organizations—from startups to Fortune 500s—make smarter, data-driven decisions, I combine strategic insight with real-world impact. Whether I’m building AI-driven models or aligning product roadmaps, I take pride in delivering solutions that matter—locally and worldwide.

Specialties

Turning messy ideas into clear strategies — it satisfies both my inner builder and my need for things to make logical sense (at all times)Hobbies Lifting my own bodyweight, plating like a MasterChef finalist (minus the drama), and feeding friends meals they think I ordered in. I didn’t. I’m just that good.

Favourite Pastime

My ideal day? BBQ tongs in one hand, beer in the other,surrounded by laughter and the occasional burnt cottage cheese sausage.

If I Weren’t a Strategist

If I weren’t a strategist, I’d be reverse-engineering cities or building tiny houses in the woods—maybe both. I’ve always been drawn to systems that shape human experience, whether it’s urban networks or minimalist living. For me, it’s all about solving meaningful problems with empathy and intention.

H

I started off like many others — with a Computer Science degree and a dream to build things that mattered. Over time, “things” turned into products, “mattered” turned into measurable impact on improving human lives, and my curiosity turned into a full-time career in analytics and product strategy. From working at Fortune 120 companies like IBM and Broadcom, to helping a Canadian tech company raise $120 million in growth capital, I’ve always sat at the crossroads of data, decisions, and direction. And while spreadsheets and dashboards are fun (yes, really), what drives me is making data useful — not just accurate. I care about the so what — the part where data gets translated into a smarter product, a better user experience, or a more strategic business move. Add a pinch of AI, a few predictive models, and some generative experimentation — and you’ve got my happy place.

What I’m Doing Now

My first “real” product strategy It wasn’t glamorous. Or planned. I was asked to make sense of a failing platform and ended up redesigning it for 800,000 users. What started as a data clean-up turned into a roadmap revamp. The result? 15x value delivery. And a massive respect for cross-functional teams who actually talk to each other.That’s when I realized: data’s cool, but people and process —they’re the game changers.

The Yoga of It All

I meditate. I stretch. I breathe through stakeholder meetings. Yoga isn't just a wellness thing — it's my mental operating system. It helps me see patterns, stay curious, and actually listen. It's probably why I lead with calm, especially when the data's messy or the strategy's unclear. Curiosity. Empower. Impact. That's the mantra — on and off the
