I am an enterprise technology executive and advisor with two decades of experience leading transformation across regulated healthcare, provincial healthcare and global financial services. Today, my advisory work focuses on one of the most consequential challenges facing organizations: turning rapid advances in AI into practical, governed organizational value.
My work sits at the intersection of business strategy, technology, governance, people and change. That matters because successful AI adoption is rarely a technology problem alone.
Organizations can buy AI tools quickly. Building the leadership alignment, technology foundation, governance, operating model, employee capability and disciplined execution required to capture value is considerably harder.
Experience Across Complex Environments
Regulated Healthcare
In my current executive technology leadership role, I am responsible for technology within a healthcare regulatory environment where modernization, security, privacy, risk and operational reliability must coexist. My current work spans enterprise technology strategy, modernization, security, governance, operational resilience and organizational AI adoption.
Provincial Healthcare Technology
My experience includes leading digital and technology transformation in large healthcare environments supporting complex operational and clinical ecosystems.
Global Financial Services
Earlier experience in financial services exposed me to technology operations at international scale, where resilience, security, governance and disciplined execution are non-negotiable. At Scotiabank, my responsibilities included 24/7 technology operations across more than 20 international markets and leadership within geographically distributed delivery organizations.
AI Adoption is not a Theory for Me
My work includes leading AI adoption inside an operating organization — addressing strategy, governance, technology, people, training and organizational change rather than treating AI as an isolated technology experiment.
In May 2026, I presented "Embedding AI into Enterprise Operations: The CNO Approach" at the National Council of State Boards of Nursing IT/Operations Conference.
