I co-founded and now lead Build Canada, an initiative working to make this country the easiest place in the world to build new companies and scale bold ideas. My path here runs through federal politics—where I served as Chief of Staff to a cabinet minister—and through climate-tech, most recently as an executive at Patch. Along the way I’ve advised the UN, OECD, and Fortune 500 leaders on sustainability and competitiveness.
That mix of policy depth, startup pace, and coalition-building now informs Build Canada’s approach to create a builder-led movement for change, supercharged with modern tools. I write and speak regularly on these themes; my work has appeared in the WSJ, Forbes, and The Globe and Mail, and on stages from Toronto Tech Week to COP to SXSW.
