Supporting organizations in their approach to transformations, product development, strategy, and innovation. SaaS & Non-Profit businesses across Health, Finance, and MarTech.

Focused on driving a vision & product strategy for ATB Ventures' customer-oriented product portfolio into global markets through product portfolio management. Working with this team over the last three years, I also have the incredible opportunity of providing input into Ventures' strategy office and ultimately operationalizing that strategy with our senior leadership team. Comprised of a diverse team of entrepreneurs, inventors, and data scientists, we are challenged to innovate on the edge of ATB Financial. Everyday, I get to work toward building a better future (with our team) through disruptive innovation.

Courageously creating the future through a product & strategy lens with the ATB Ventures team. Comprised of a diverse team of entrepreneurs, inventors, and data scientists, we are challenged to innovate on the edge of ATB Financial. My role focused on building a better future with emerging technology.

As my first large enterprise role, the value of working with the Head of Data (as he structured his teams and technology) was insurmountable. Within the span of 15 months, I had foundational insight into how data management, governance, and utilization (analytics, AI) were managed at an enterprise scale. This position allowed me to bring my management and business skills, and apply them against the strategic and operational focus of technology (through data). My role evolved to reside between the Business and Technology functions as a catalyst of action within our company's Transformation, allowing me to see the criticality of addressing business needs through the lens of the end user and sparked my interest in technical product development.

End-to-end management of the veterinary practice strategy and operations. Scheduling, payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory maintenance, Canada Revenue Agency payments, team enablement (leadership, recruitment, growth, conflicts), client success, Veterinary Consulting International management, and business growth strategy spanning across technology and P&L. My desire to move to Alberta unfortunately ended my position with Frontier; however, in my time there, I was able to work directly with the founder & CEO to prepare the organization for a profitable sale (acquisition) through increasing revenue, minimizing expenses, and enhancing operations.

Working with various start-ups in the Saskatoon area to establish their operational execution and competitive positioning. End-to-end oversight of customer success, services, marketing, budgets, technology implementations, and leadership accountabilities while undertaking and receiving my business education.
