I have benefited from a varied career as an economist, corporate executive, technology entrepreneur, management consultant, advisor and teacher. I'm currently the CFO of a technology/service company in the oil and gas industry. 

I began my career in the Alberta Legislature, as the Executive Assistant to Alberta’s Provincial Treasurer. This was followed by over a decade living and working internationally for two European-based banks as an economist and energy sector analyst where I advised governments and global investment funds, on the energy sectors and company valuations in the Latin American, US and European markets. After returning to Canada, I spent 12 years as Founder and CEO of PetroJet Canada, an oil & gas technology company that worked with university researchers and private companies on technologies to reduce oil sand's CO2 emissions.  Following the sale of PetroJet, I started a consulting practice providing management services focused on small business finance and international expansions. This included the role of "Entrepreneur in Residence" for a Chilean accelerator program mentoring start-up company management teams.

I believe that we need to work together respectfully to address a variety of challenges and threats with honesty, pragmatism, intelligence, and a clear understanding of the real world that we live in. This includes considerations of human psychology, limited resources, geopolitics, and the unintended consequences of government policies.
