Venture Partner and Investment Manager
I am an experienced venture builder with a strong operating, investing and portfolio management track record. I leverage a diagnostic framework and my experience as a CEO, COO and Venture Capital Partner to assess business challenges, identify and prioritize opportunities, set clear objectives and measurable results, and drive value. I focus on venture development based on value milestones, investment support, portfolio management, and turnaround management, all delivered with accountability, clear communication, and a positive mindset. Concurrently, I serve as an Investment Manager at Verdex Capital, where I drive initiatives in Canadian agriculture with a focus on environmental impact. My commitment to fostering innovation extends to my role as a Mentor at the Venture Mentoring Service of Alberta, supporting business founders in scaling their ventures. Additionally, I contribute to the Canadian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association as a Data Committee Member, ensuring high-quality research and analysis. My goal is to accelerate the growth of entrepreneurs and businesses by helping them overcome challenges and amplify the impact of time and dollars invested.
