I've been an early advocate of technology and entrepreneurship since learning to code and launching a webpage business in high school. Since then I obtained my degree in economics from McGill University, a CPA designation (via CMA route), was part of the teams of two $100mm+ acquisitions and played a central role in a software startup raise seed and series A financing of $6.5mm. I have also managed a $6mm non-profit investment fund and have helped new businesses and community organizations obtain $10mm+ in grant funding for projects with significant economic impact in areas such as health care, forestry and agriculture.
