Experience behind the advice

  • Financial turnaround

    Eliminated a $5 million operating deficit within one fiscal year at a $170 million community health agency, and led a financial sustainability transformation at one of Ontario's largest children's aid societies.

  • Growth and private equity

    As Vice-President, Finance of a private-equity-owned consumer goods distributor, secured the financing for double-digit growth, restored profitability and led an acquisition.

  • Planning at scale

    As Controller of the $5 billion North American sales and distribution arm of a global automotive manufacturer, and later Chief Financial Officer of its Canadian operation, introduced zero-based budgeting, a pricing model for product planning and a company-wide KPI framework.

  • Running corporate services

    As Chief Administrative Officer of one of Ontario's largest community-based child and youth mental health and autism service organizations, held executive responsibility for finance, human resources, IT, facilities and risk management across multiple sites.

  • Technology and AI

    Built that organization's first enterprise AI strategy, with its governance framework, policies and use-case roadmap, and earlier sponsored the province-wide rollout of an integrated case, financial and document management platform for Ontario child welfare.
