I help leaders, teams and brands tell stories to increase their impact and influence. Currently, I'm focused on building platforms and systems that help people and organizations build the relationships they need to navigate complexity and accelerate meaningful impact.
These include:
Tribe of 12— My third book (with an AI-enabled operating system) to help people authentically and successfully build the 12 foundational relationships they need to thrive in today's turbulent world.
HOTHOUSE — A platform that helps disaster and climate tech companies unlock capital, partnerships, and public trust by connecting them with the right people and opportunities.
Resilience Tech North — An initiative to position Canada as the premier destination for climate and resilience technology.
The AnchorPoint — Canada's wildfire technology intelligence hub, delivering critical insights on innovation, policy, and market opportunities in wildfire resilience.
A Global Multi-Lens Professional Perspective: I have 20+ years working alongside global teams and brands to unlock their next level of value and impact.
I'm former lawyer, the best selling author of two non-fiction books, the co-founder and past CEO of Canada’s leading cannabis media company. My ideas and writing have been published in platforms that include: The Atlantic, Fast Company, The Boston Globe, The Globe & Mail, Rotmans and The Huffington Post. I bring a unique multi-lens professional perspective that helps me successfully drive and creatively shape public stories and industry defining narratives in highly regulated, competitive and rapidly shifting markets and ecosystems.
I'm experienced political communicator and executive communications strategist and have worked with global business, cultural and political leaders - and I was a Senior Advisor and member of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s six person 2015 campaign platform team.
My strategic communications approach brings together storytelling, advocacy, thought leadership and data based strategy.
