About
I am deeply engaged in the intersection of water management, sustainability, and technology innovation. With a foundational education in Chemical Engineering and Business from the University of Waterloo, I've spent over 15 years leading initiatives that significantly impact the water sector in Ontario and beyond. My tenure has been marked by pioneering strategic initiatives aimed at sustainable transformation, enhancing sector-wide collaboration, and driving technological advancements.
I hold a Master’s in Business (Entrepreneurship and Technology) and a Bachelor's in Applied Science in Chemical Engineering, qualifications that have underpinned my leadership in marrying engineering solutions with strategic business approaches. My work, particularly in mobilizing over $90M in project funding and fostering the commercialization of cutting-edge water technologies, reflects a commitment to addressing contemporary environmental challenges through innovation.
In addition to my professional pursuits, I am an active contributor to Water For People, demonstrating a global commitment to improving water access and sanitation. This volunteer work complements my professional goal of fostering sustainable environmental practices both locally and globally.
My expertise spans from strategic planning to collaborative stakeholder engagement to leadership and innovation, all aimed at promoting sustainable water management practices. As a recognized leader in the water sector, my contributions extend beyond organizational boundaries, influencing policy, advancing technological adoption, and advocating for sustainable environmental stewardship.
I am keen on fostering meaningful collaborations, please reach out if you wish to connect.
Specialties: Sustainable water management, strategic partnership development, water technology innovation, environmental stewardship, project and program management, leadership in sustainability.
