Ashton O'Brien Email & Phone Number

I am an Application Support Analyst II for BCLC's iGaming platform, and have spent the last 12 years with the organization in various technical roles. I have a passion for solving problems and improving processes, and I have been able to leverage my strengths and talents in these areas to excel in my roles. I am a learner through and through and never pass up an opportunity to learn a new skill or technology. Most recently I have been working with Dynatrace as an observability tool, and finding creative/innovative solutions to some of our large business problems.I have worked on multiple agile delivery teams as a scrum master and support capability representative. I have provided domain expertise, removed blockers, facilitated ceremonies, led team improvements, and represented customers for PlayNow's eLottery, eCasino, Player Account Management, and Payment product streams, and internal Application Performance Management team. I am a certified product owner, and eager to leverage my skills in knowledge to maximize delivery value.I am the former the Director of Resources for the Kamloops Pride Society as of November 2023. Prior to that I held the role of President, Vice President, and Director at Large. As VP I leveraged my skills in public speaking, facilitation, and avocacy to influence change at a Provincial level. As President, I leveraged my strategic thinking and leadership abilities to prepare Kamloops Pride for future growth and sustainability by implementing a strategy including clear processes and succession plans, documentation standards, and clearly defined roles which resulted in less board turnover, a significant increase in community and local business engagement, and 25% overall revenue growth within that year. I stepped down as president to continue my focus on resource development and partnerships as the Director of Resources, and I leveraged my skills in building trust and strong relationships to build bridges between the RCMP and 2SLGBTQPIA+ community in Kamloops, build stronger partnerships with the City of Kamloops and local business improvement associations, Thompson River's University, SD73, and many local businesses within Kamloops.I value equity, justice, diversity, inclusion, integrity, connection, vulnerability, and accountability, and I strive to stay true to these values in everything I do. I am committed to continuous learning, self-improvement, and people.
