About Me
Hi, I’m James. I turn strategy into action and vision into results through technology, collaboration, and operational excellence.
I’m a technology-driven leader with 20+ years of experience across financial services, academia, and telecommunications. From launching cutting-edge AI initiatives to streamlining voice biometrics authentication across international markets, I specialize in transforming operations to maximize impact.
With an MBA in Management & Change from Carleton University and multiple agile and change management certifications, I bring both strategic foresight and executional rigor to every challenge. I thrive on harnessing data-driven insights and emerging tech to empower high-performing teams and elevate customer experiences.
Outside the boardroom, you’ll find me running long distances, mentoring future leaders, and giving back to my community.
Age isn't a roadblock but a vantage point; years are chapters that embolden your ambition, and time only refines your vision - every step toward your dream carries the polish of experience.
