I'm an operator, coach, and entrepreneur that helps startups, leaders, and teams grow. I grew up in Montreal, Canada and split time between Toronto, Montreal, New York, and San Francisco.
As a growth lead, I work with startups to scale their marketing, sales, and CS functions, and implement proven systems for sustainable revenue growth. I also coach founders, operators and emerging leaders to help them achieve their goals and grow at the pace of their companies.
I completed my Bachelors in Business and Computer Science at McGill University along with an intensive in Technology Entrepreneurship at Stanford. A former athlete, I played varsity basketball at the collegiate level and am a certified personal trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medecine (NASM).
In my professional career, I've founded multiple technology businesses, worked in growth leadership roles at VC and PE backed startups, and completed my coach training at the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).
I have been featured in publications like Forbes, Les Affaires and Mars Discovery District for my work in startups, tech, and entrepreneurship.
I've spoken on these topics at top universities, accelerators, and corporates like McGill, the University of Toronto, Next Canada, RBC, and Microsoft, and I was recognized as one of Canada's Entrepreneurs of the Year in 2023.
I believe in taking a purpose-driven approach to all aspects of life.
Through my experiences as a startup founder and operator, I've found that committing to a personal "North Star" and executing on it through a focused, structured, yet balanced approach is necessary to achieving your personal and professional goals while creating real impact in the world.
I work with my coaching clients to clarify this for themselves, make decisions aligned with their values, and show up as effective leaders that inspire others to do the same.
To explore this concept further, I share my reflections about the principles, systems, and habits that drive holistic success on my blog.
