Data & AI leader with 20+ years turning complex datasets into strategic insights across healthcare, pensions, and financial services.
I'm an analytics and AI leader based in Ontario, Canada, with over two decades of experience across Canadian financial services, pensions, and healthcare. I specialize in data strategy, Microsoft Fabric implementation, Azure data pipelines, and predictive modeling — always with the goal of turning complex data into insights that drive real outcomes.
Currently, I lead health data and analytics at Collingwood General & Marine Hospital, where I oversee the Health Information Management department and have modernized our data infrastructure with Microsoft Fabric, medallion architecture, and a shift toward proactive, Agile data product delivery.
Previously, I spent over a decade at HOOPP, progressing from BI analyst to senior management, where I launched nationally recognized research programs and built enterprise analytics capabilities. I hold a Master of Management Analytics (ML/AI specialization) from Queen's University, Smith School of Business.
