My passion for technology and youth empowerment is at the core of my ventures. After earning my engineering degree from McGill University, my career began with work on emerging technologies across 25+ countries and 4 continents, collaborating with governments and Fortune Global 500 companies. These projects spanned areas such as autonomous vehicles, satellite imaging, artificial intelligence, and GPU-based data processing.I leveraged this global experience to co-found Quantum Lead, a consulting firm focused on creative technology solutions. Our work initially centred on supporting technology, manufacturing, and non-profit sectors, though we quickly carved out a niche in retail and consumer goods through innovative applications. Today, we help designer brands and omnichannel retailers harness the power of data-driven, customer-centric solutions. We are proud to be certified partners of both Salesforce and Shopify.Alongside Quantum Lead, I co-founded UpstartED, a social enterprise helping prepare Canada’s youth thrive in a complex world as positive change makers. Through this initiative, we have impacted thousands of students and educators across 5 provinces. As part of this role, I managed our partners, including Google, Shopify, SAP, and Deloitte, to name a few. Beyond my ventures, I serve as a Director on the McGill University Alumni Board, represent Canada as a delegate to the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance, and advise various startups. I am committed to staying at the forefront of technological innovation and fostering the next generation of leaders.**For those figuring out recruitment, career planning, entrepreneurship, see the free webinar series we organized as part of the McGill Young Alumni Board: - Career Planning & Recruitment: bit.ly/mya20webinar1- Personal Branding & LinkedIn Strategy: bit.ly/mya20webinar2- Entrepreneurial Resilience Amidst Economic Turbulence: bit.ly/mya20webinar3- How to Upskill and Reskill : bit.ly/mya20webinar4- Understanding the Recruitment Process: bit.ly/mya20webinar5- Virtual Interview Strategies: bit.ly/mya20webinar6- Navigating Your First 90 Days on the Job: bit.ly/mya20webinar7Feel free to message me if you would like the additional resources**
