About

Engineering the Future,
Leading With Purpose

I'm a CTO and technology transformation leader with over 20 years of experience helping organisations harness emerging technology to drive genuine, lasting change. Based in the Greater Toronto Area, my work sits at the intersection of AI strategy, engineering, and executive leadership.

A graduate of the University of Cambridge, I bring analytical rigour and a global perspective to every engagement — shaped by years of working alongside world-class organisations and an enduring commitment to results that matter.

My career spans advisory and CTO roles at EY, independent engineering consulting, and deep specialisation in AI enablement and digital transformation. I help organisations move from curiosity about AI to confident, scaled adoption — building capability, reshaping operating models, and embedding intelligence into how they work.

Outside of technology, I'm a passionate musician and perform with The Covernotes. I also commit annually to charitable events throughout the GTA — believing strongly in giving back to the communities that shape us.

Off the Clock

The Covernotes

When I'm not in boardrooms talking AI, I'm on stage making people forget there ever was a seating plan. The Covernotes are one of Ontario's most in-demand live cover bands — tight sets, big energy, classic rock to the latest floor-fillers. We bring our own PA and a setlist that actually gets people moving. Weddings, corporate events, and private functions across the GTA.
