I am a Full Stack Product Leader specializing in Scaling Financial Products.

I bring 15+ years of financial experience, including 6 years managing $52B+ savings portfolios for Canada's largest banks (Scotiabank & TD), and now I am actively building in the Bitcoin space.

My core value is Agility. I adapt seamlessly between Strategy and Shipping, shifting instantly from defining the high-level vision to driving rapid execution.

I am fluent in:

* Financial Strategy: Deep expertise in P&L management, financial modeling, and risk assessment to ensure every feature drives revenue.

* Scientific Product Discovery: I reject "guessing." I use rigorous user research and rapid prototyping to validate what to build before engineering writes a single line of code, ensuring capital is never wasted on features nobody wants.

* Growth & Retention: Optimizing Unit Economics, reducing churn, and maximizing Lifetime Value (LTV) through data-driven decisions.

* Execution Excellence: PMP-certified leadership in Agile/Scrum and Process Re-engineering to turn messy requirements into predictable roadmaps.

* AI-Native Operations: Leveraging LLMs and AI tools to accelerate workflows and modernize product operations.

* User Adoption: Applying Behavioral Science and Change Management (ADKAR) to solve the hardest problem in Fintech: getting users to trust and use new products.

My superpower is combining Institutional Scale with Startup Speed. I know how to navigate complex regulations like a banker, but I ship and iterate with the agility of a founder.

These T-shirts tell a story. 💙❤️💜
Not just about Crohn's and Colitis Canada | Crohn et Colite Canada's Gutsy Walk and Terry Fox Foundation's Signature Run, but about people who showed up, rallied their networks, and carried your org's mission forward. 

Peer-to-peer fundraisers are community leaders, storytellers, organizers, and advocates. And the way we steward them matters.

If you lead walks, read-a-thons, fitness challenges, game nights, or social campaigns, this webinar is for you! 

 📅 Thu, Jan 22, 2026
 ⏰ 1:00–2:00 PM EST

In this interactive session, we will explore how to treat community fundraisers like the valued volunteers they are. You will learn how to build trust, sustain relationships, and support people who are sharing personal stories while fundraising.

What you will leave with:
 • Practical ways to overcome common P2P engagement barriers
 • Better support strategies for community members telling their stories
 • Tools to build long-term relationships that strengthen revenue and belonging

If your P2P strategy ends when the event does, this is your invitation to rethink stewardship.

👋I look forward to facilitating this interactive hour and appreciate CanadaHelps for hosting! Link to register in the comments.
