My work comes down to one goal: making it safer and easier for millions of people to move through their cities. I've spent three decades in technology, and the throughline has been building new things from the ground up. New practices, new businesses, new ways of using data to solve stubborn urban problems.

At TELUS, I built and led Smart Cities, Intelligent Transportation, and IoT initiatives, drove partner sales, led a major strategic investment, and closed major public-sector contracts. Today I'm doing it again at Esri Canada, building a new AI-enabled intelligent transportation practice from scratch, grounded in GeoAI, knowledge graphs, digital twins, and an emerging agentic AI roadmap.

I don't just direct this work. I build it. After years in executive roles, I've made a delightful return to my coding past, using AI to build products hands-on and to understand where the technology is really headed.

I also translate complex ideas for wider audiences through my Substack, Rethink Toronto, along with the Toronto Star, five published books, radio, and conference stages across Canada and the US. I've taught at Algoma University and Humber College. Outside work, I'm an avid squash player and live in Toronto with my wife of more than 20 years and our two teenage kids.
