About
I learned operations before I learned strategy.
That is why I care whether a recommendation still works after it leaves the slide.
The throughline
I started in Life Sciences and healthcare operations, where the smallest process problem lands on a real person: a patient waiting for a referral, a physician trying to find a result, a staff member switching between systems while the phone keeps ringing.
Schulich gave me the business language and analytical tools to work on those problems from another angle—market entry, financial modelling, project planning, growth strategy and executive communication.
The combination is what I bring now: commercial judgment with operator context. I can ask the customer question, build the analytical case, communicate the recommendation and stay close enough to execution to notice when the plan does not fit reality.
Roles I am targeting: strategy, growth, tech sales, partnerships, implementation and healthcare technology—especially work where customer understanding and analytical thinking both matter.
What is different about the mix
I am not coming to commercial work from one lane. I have sold on a retail floor, coordinated high-volume clinic workflows, led a six-person consulting team, built a 36-month financial model, shipped a healthcare website and built an audience from zero. Those experiences are different, but the recurring skill is the same: understand what the other person needs, structure the problem and move the work forward.
