We could all feel it—we were on the brink of a breakthrough.
During a design sprint, the team had spent hours poring over our customer discovery notes and brainstorming solutions for commercializing a machine learning model built to predict pain in animals, yet nothing seemed quite right.
With ten minutes left, the pieces began to click into place. I couldn’t conceal the disappointment in my voice when I noted the time. In unison, the team expressed their eagerness to press on.
That extended session led to the development of a prototype that garnered over 70K downloads, a pilot expansion to 100 hospitals across Canada, and a dozen healthcare and research applications for an API in less than six months.
My passion for innovation flourishes when empowering others to explore their creative potential. Through my leadership philosophy of fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, I enable teams to not only meet but surpass expectations, sometimes achieving results beyond our collective imagination.
I specialize in commercializing research and technology by identifying hidden opportunities and risks through customer discovery and engaging, collaborative workshops.
