about:
With 10+ years of experience in strategic marketing operations, I have a proven track record of optimizing processes, increasing team efficiency, and delivering measurable results. My expertise spans leading complex projects, managing marketing resources, and optimizing budgets to drive business growth and scale.

I began my marketing career as a Marketing Assistant at Thomson Reuters, focusing on editorial work and research, and quickly developed a passion for strategy and execution. Over the next seven years, I contributed to the success of iconic Canadian brands—MEC and lululemon athletica—where I honed my ability to lead cross-functional teams and execute marketing strategies in the highly competitive outdoor and athletic sectors.

Driven by curiosity and the desire to explore new challenges, I transitioned to the tech and startup world. At Foodee, I developed and led the marketing division, building a marketing function from the ground up and helping the company scale rapidly. This experience sparked my entrepreneurial spirit and led me to a successful consulting career, where I’ve worked with both startups and large corporate clients, including RunGo, CareCru, Cleardent, and TELUS Health. My focus has been on streamlining marketing operations, improving team efficiency, and delivering revenue growth through scalable strategies.

When I’m not optimizing marketing teams or driving business growth, I’m exploring the outdoors with my family, enjoying good food with friends, diving into interesting books, or traveling to new places. I bring the same passion for exploration and continuous improvement to my work, always striving for innovation and excellence.

about:
Client-facing practice leader with 30+ years partnering with Retail, CPG, industrial, automotive, A&D, high-tech, and pharma enterprises — delivering AI-enabled transformation that moves pricing, sourcing, supply chain, SG&A, and working capital outcomes.

Senior Partner spanning enterprise software engineering (13 years in production systems) and top-tier consulting (McKinsey, AlixPartners, Roland Berger). A different operating model: embedded with the executive team, accountable for P&L outcomes, present through execution — not just strategy. Equal parts trusted advisor and hands-on operator.

Two proprietary platforms built and deployed — signature achievements:

AlixPartners: Built the firm's first digital platform for end-to-end operations optimization — sourcing, supply chain, working capital, SG&A. Deployed across 50+ engagements.

Roland Berger: Designed and deployed an AI-backed transformation platform covering operations (70% — sourcing, supply chain, working capital, SG&A) and commercial (30% — pricing, promotions, product strategy). 5–10% EBITDA improvement in 6–12 months. 30–40% delivery cost reduction.

Full P&L impact across operations and revenue:

Operations: AI-enabled operations and agentic automation, strategic sourcing (direct and indirect), category management, supplier risk and resilience, tariff engineering and global trade optimization, nearshoring and supply chain footprint redesign, inventory and working capital management, demand and S&OP planning, SG&A transformation, procurement center of excellence design, post-acquisition integration, operational turnarounds and restructuring.

Revenue: Customer and marketing analytics, SKU-level pricing optimization, promotion effectiveness, revenue growth management (RGM), assortment optimization

Why do so many organizations accept inefficiency in tail spend when it represents up to 20–30% of suppliers and transactions?

In our latest Roland Berger article, we take a closer look at tail spend—not as an operational nuisance, but as a strategic blind spot hiding real value. Too often, tail spend is labeled “too fragmented,” “too small,” or “too complex” to manage effectively. That mindset a

headline: Head of Thought Leadership at PA Consulting

about:
Thought leadership strategist and narrative architect who helps organisations bridge the gap between technical expertise and executive action.

Working across global research programmes and content campaigns, I build the evidence, narratives, and frameworks that help our experts earn a seat at the table with the world's most complex businesses and institutions. Our authoritative perspectives help senior leaders confidently face the forces reshaping markets and economies.

I specialise in helping leaders navigate, not just explain, their challenges. By codifying disparate, cross-divisional projects, insights, and experience into coherent commercial frameworks, I ensure thinking is directional rather than diagnostic – turning insight into influence and impact.

Working with strictly defined editorial and philosophical principles, I leverage AI across the entire thought leadership lifecycle to identify, test, and scale the reach of our thinking; utilising agents to assess and improve idea quality, and augmenting our research and copy capabilities without losing that vital connection to our human experts.

With a foundation in newsroom rigour and more than 20 years' experience across communications and content marketing, I have built a career on making complexity clear, credible, and commercially relevant. I connect evidence, insight, and storytelling to create differentiated points of view that earn attention and trust.

This approach has consistently delivered measurable results: attributable revenue, deeper client and stakeholder relationships, top-tier media coverage, industry recognition and some of the highest independent assessments of content quality in the market, along with a few awards too.
