About
As a seasoned founder, strategic advisor, Board Director and angel investor with over 20 years of experience, I have a proven track record of helping businesses achieve their growth potential and impact goals.
My primary focus is accelerating durable carbon removal to ensure our planet remains habitable for current and future generations. Alongside Robert and Kevin, I co-founded CDR.fyi to support this mission, bringing transparency and trust to worldwide carbon dioxide removal efforts.
As a longtime entrepreneur, I believe in the transformative power of founders to create meaningful positive change through product innovation, employment, and societal contribution. To that end, I formed and lead CEO Peer Groups to facilitate peer-to-peer learning and collaboration among founder CEOs of companies with revenues over $1M. I also advise and invest in startups with a net positive impact, particularly those focusing on data-driven and climate-friendly B2B SaaS, Data, and AI/ML solutions and serve as a Venture Partner in a firm dedicated to funding ambitious immigrant founders.
To enhance my ability to deliver positive impact as a Director, I obtained the Global Competent Boards Designation (GCB.D) and completed all three levels of the Innovation Governance Program, where I serve on the Alumni Council and as an Ambassador. Additionally, I am honored to serve on the Alumni Council of the University of Waterloo, reflecting my commitment to the importance and value of higher education.
I am always open to connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators who share my passion for creating a better future for people and the planet.
