Accessible from anywhere
Strategic Advisory Services
Systems researcher and strategic advisor with nearly two decades of experience in technology innovation management.
SR&ED Consulting
Canada's SR&ED program distributes over $3 billion annually to more than 20,000 organizations. Getting it right — and keeping it audit-proof — requires more than form-filling. I bring nearly 20 years of program research, a 99% claim success rate, and deep familiarity with how CRA interprets and audits claims to every engagement.
Innovation Management
Sustainable innovation doesn't happen by accident — it requires the right processes, planning, and organizational frameworks to turn ideas into fundable, defensible R&D. I help companies build that infrastructure, from long-term planning and financial modelling to positioning their work within the regulatory and funding frameworks that govern it.
Emerging Technologies & AI
Doctoral research examining how artificial intelligence can detect systemic patterns of non-compliance across large, complex institutions — applied currently to Ontario's publicly funded school system. This work sits at the intersection of AI, governance, and institutional accountability, with methodology transferable across any sector where policy implementation is difficult to audit at scale.

Management Science
In addition to hands-on management experience and an extensive consulting career, I have conducted graduate-level research using semi-automated methods to identify trends across a 60-year period in the peer-reviewed journal Management Science.
