I’m a builder, essayist, and reformed consultant. I’m the co-founder of Quantuma, backed by ERA New York and CDL Montreal. Previously, I was SVP Analytics at Zafin, a fintech unicorn in Toronto. In my past life, 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 I 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 product management.
