Primary industry: Technology | Secondary industry: Environmental
I am a Professional Engineer and Economist who has worked in both the private and public sectors over the last forty years, providing leadership on major corporate development initiatives and government-industry initiatives in various sectors including transportation, energy, telecommunications, information services and health care in Canada and internationally. Both my training and experience have been multidisciplinary to the Doctorate level in engineering, economics and business at the Universities of London, Waterloo, Harvard and Stanford. In the private sector, my executive and management roles for over 25 years have focused on the alignment of strategy/execution and on organizational restructuring/governance of technology-based businesses. In the public sector, my senior level experience at the provincial and federal levels has been on policy analyses related to energy/environment, communications/information technology and aboriginal business development. I have had extensive experience with different cultures and Boards and operate out of Calgary as a management consultant supporting early and later stage entrepreneurs on the commercialization of various technologies and providing mentorship in the aboriginal sector.
