“Scott possesses an unparalleled multi-faceted skillset in understanding business, FSI industry, technology, and people. His super strength is creating new revenue generator 'Think Big' ideas and business models. I worked with him closely on getting RBC securely to the public cloud. The journey was both hard and exhilarating. I learnt a lot from Scott especially in developing and executing strategies to help our Customer achieve business outcomes. Those lessons are going to be with me forever.”
About
I work at the intersection of technology and financial services at Amazon (AWS) Canada using the transformative power of cloud computing to help our banking customers reinvent their business. I am also a Senior Fellow at The Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, University of Toronto. Together with the Munk School we have built a network of discussions that seek to become the global destination for rediscovering the purpose of money in society. Join us at Munk School on April 4, 2024 to have this important conversation on the public stage and help shape the prospects for more inclusive trade and social innovation.

(Amazon) #InnovateEverywhere
Amazon Web Services
Amazon (AWS) hosted an internal innovation competition in 2020 called #InnovateEverywhere to source, upvote, pitch and fund new products to improve productivity and ultimately drive greater revenue. Essentially an internal "shark tank." We pitched The Syndicate which jointly won the contest and funding to build as a worldwide initiative for AWS.
