    I’m a senior executive and digital transformation leader with over 25 years of experience helping organizations, from startups to established enterprises, optimize operations, embrace automation, and scale strategically. My core expertise lies at the intersection of technology, business efficiency, and healthcare innovation. As Managing Director and Senior Partner at SigmaRPA Inc., I’ve worked with companies across Canada and the U.S. to design and implement intelligent automation strategies that reduce costs, eliminate inefficiencies, and enable growth. I serve clients in both advisory and fractional executive capacities, often stepping in as Chief Automation Officer (CAO) or Chief AI Officer (CAiO), to guide internal teams, streamline operations, and lead organization-wide digital initiatives. My career began in healthcare, where I led large-scale operations and worked directly with government regulators, insurers, and physicians across Canada. I later applied that operational experience to the tech sector, helping startups and scale-ups build infrastructure, implement systems, and prepare for growth, funding, or acquisition. I’ve worked in regulated environments, managed digital transitions in legacy systems, and led digital health transformations focused on improving patient outcomes and provider workflows. My specialties include: Digital transformation strategy & execution Business process optimization Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and AI integration Operational readiness for scaling or acquisition Healthtech and medtech advisory Working with startups, family businesses, and venture-backed companies Leading change management initiatives Stakeholder engagement (C-suite, boards, clinical teams, and government bodies) In addition to executive consulting, I’ve served in advisory roles to provincial healthcare regulators, contributed to health system reform, and held multiple board and policy roles related to healthcare access, equity, and system performance. I’m passionate about helping mission-driven businesses build sustainable, future-ready operations, especially in sectors where innovation can have real-world impact. Whether you're a founder scaling your first company, or a healthcare organization rethinking your digital strategy, I bring a practical, strategic, and deeply experienced perspective to every engagement.
