About

I am an outgoing active thinker who strives to deliver impact by doing the right thing, especially at a massive scale.

It's an honour to be the CEO of Optimity, a startup that is transforming the insurance industry to enable insurability for all & a new lifestyle-based pricing/underwriting models.

Prior to Optimity, I created innovative new "FICO scores" for banks & healthcare organizations, and spent a decade in global clinical trials in maximizing adherence and performing dynamic risk scoring using software for patients in North America, Asia and the EU.

I build SaaS tech and scoring IP based on 30+ years of behavioral science and our proprietary dataset to power a new underwriting paradigm. Our customers can now continuously and more accurately assess risk, while fostering healthier consumer clients. We are building an end-to-end ecosystem that will power the new health/life-centric model of insurance and beyond. For example, we offer a digital holistic well-being platform for employers using gamification & habit-coaching behavior economics to support health lifestyle engagement.

What Optimity does and why?
Today's professionals are seeking help to build powerful habits that optimizes their personal and professional success everyday. Our team at Optimity is modernizing the way people work, live and play by delivering micro-exercises and challenges through digital solutions. We help busy people get more exercise, better nutrition, and enough rest during their work weeks.

Optimity is a platform that is viral and supports community-based proactive health engagement. The app allows people to learn, discover, and do activities that seamlessly integrates into their day-to-day routines to form healthier habits.

Our technology solutions personalizes our Optimity mobile app for users through dynamic health & wealth risk assessments and are able to educate and support members on healthy activities, financial best practices, and lifestyle choices to hit their goals.

Outside of Optimity, I enjoy learning, executing and teaching strategy (Lean Startup Machine Toronto) and university students (Western, McGill, Tsinghua University & Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade).
For fun, I play tennis, beach volleyball and volunteer my time coordinating fashion shows and charity events to raise money for Leukaemia and Cancer research & prevention.
