Transforming high-velocity transactional experiences

Toronto, Ontario, Ca

I had a dual role of leading product design and as a product owner for Scotiabank's online trading and wealth management platform serving clients of Scotia iTRADE, ScotiaMcLeod, International Investment Advisory, Private Investment Counsel, and Scotiatrust. My job entailed a broad range of activities from the strategic conception of digital platform innovations all the way to delivering stock trading and wealth management experiences to our clients. My final effort was focused on re-imagining a modern self directed trading and wealth management experience for Scotiabank.

I guided a 50+ year old small business, a Montreal Florist brand through a challenging journey of surviving the digital world. Started as a webmaster in 1999, redesigning their site in 2002, building their eCommerce platform in 2005, getting their search engine rankings up to top spots, managing the product, evolving the digital strategy, owning a portion of the business, and finally watching as ownership changed in the end of 2019.

While working for primary client, online sports betting site Betus.com, I wore multiple hats in a company with whose biggest client was a prominent Sportsbook. My primary responsibility was managing developers for the online platform, leading the front-end UI development, and designing a number of their internal applications (transaction management, CRM, Ticketing system, CMS, contact campaign management, affiliate & referral management, ad campaign management). I was prolific in converting executive desires to fully fleshed out products that were deployed to clients and other end users (this was a very involved exercise of coordination, imagination, and delivery).
