These days I’m fortunate to be running point at Bitmaker Labs, Canada’s largest coding bootcamp. As a two time drop out (both university and college), I’m incredibly passionate about reshaping traditional education to better suit both students and the evolving workforce.

I also moonlight as an investor and startup dealmaker; arming emerging technology companies with the capital they need to accelerate growth. I spend a large portion of my free time working with Canadian companies I believe in.

Prior to Bitmaker I was at Uber, joining the company around employee 50 when we were in just a handful of cities. Since then, Uber has expanded into hundreds of cities, over 45 countries, over 2000 employees, and has grown to be the most valuable private internet company in the world. I was fortunate enough to get a variety of experiences there having both launched the city of Vancouver and working out of the Canadian HQ in Toronto focused on growth.

My past projects (TEDxUWO, London Vote Mob, etc) have reached over 80 countries worldwide and have been featured in national and local publications such as The Globe and Mail, MSN.ca, CBC's The National, Metro News, and many more.
