About me

For over a decade I’ve worked with some of Canada’s most interesting private and public sector organizations on the fundamentals of how they address their markets, employees, suppliers and investors. As an independent consultant, I’ve also had the pleasure of collaborating with many Canadian and international creative agencies on matters of strategy, design and advertising.

Prior to starting my firm, I spent ten years as a management consultant with the Boston Consulting Group and its predecessor firms in Canada: The Canada Consulting Group; Cresap, MsCormick and Paget; and Peter Barnard Associates. Latterly, my practice focused on organizational development and change management for corporations in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, and I was publishing and speaking internationally on these topics.

I dedicate approximately 10 percent of my time to pro bono work, and I am actively involved in community development as a board member and tutor at Parkdale Project Read, a community-based adult literacy organization, and for 11 years as a director of the not-for-profit, Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CSTF), Canada’s first and largest group RESP provider.

I hold a Master of Arts in Economic Geography (Industrial and Commercial Location) from the University of Toronto and an Honours BA from Queen’s University, Kingston.
