Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
With the mind of an engineer, heart of a scientist, and drive of an entrepreneur, I have an appetite for innovation and change. Trained in science, engineering, and sustainability, I’ve spent almost 20 years as a professional in technology, communications, energy / environment, and health. I’ve passionately led teams and numerous projects in:
- Research & product development
- Business intelligence & strategic consulting
- Branding, marketing & publishing
- Small business development & automation
- Career & business coaching
My peers recognize me for the following ‘superpowers’:
- Idea Translator & Engaging Teacher: I COMMUNICATE BIG IDEAS IN INTERESTING, EFFECTIVE WAYS. I have a rare and uncanny ability to understand and translate complex ideas and concepts into simple, clever, quirky explanations. And my sharp writing and presentation skills -- often sprinkled with humour and wit -- create smiles, memorable learning, and comments like, “I’ve never heard it that way before!” and “Oh, THAT’s how that works!”
- Innovation Enthusiast, Futurist & Change Agent: I DRIVE INNOVATION AND PROGRESS -- both incremental and disruptive. With keen observation, trend-spotting, and foresight, I enjoy exploring options and multi-faceted impacts through thought experiments, projections, forecasting / backcasting, and scenario analysis.
- Progressive Thinker & Insightful Analyst: I BUILD UNDERSTANDING, CLARITY AND INSIGHT with powerful questions, thoughtful exploration, and perceptive analysis.
- Systems Architect & Strategic Advisor: I LIGHT THE WAY FORWARD with maps, systems, and strategic planning that are thorough and practical.
- Special Investigator: I TACKLE COMPLEX PROBLEMS with creativity and childlike curiosity, blending methodical approaches with fresh, interesting perspectives. Teams welcome me to shrink problems, grow solutions, and throw victory dance parties.
If your project or team would be giddy to have me on-board, please let me know!
