I’m a builder, essayist, and reformed consultant. I’m the senior vice-president of analytics at Zafin, a pre-IPO fintech in Toronto. Previously, I built AI products at IBM, with Watson and IBM Research.

I’m a graduate of Duke University, where I was a Fulbright Scholar and completed the Fellowship in Global Journalism at the University of Toronto. I’m on the advisory board of the Rotman School of Management’s master of management analytics program, where I also teach analytics product management.
