Experience + Expertise
As co-founder and CE) at Human Race, an AI Product Studio blazing trails in agentic engineering, I work to rapidly transform innovative AI-driven concepts into successful, market-ready ventures. I leverage magnetic culture, strategic marketing, disciplined sales teams, efficient technology, fiscal prudence, and operational excellence to deliver standout results.
With over 25 years of experience in startup and early-stage environments, I've developed deep expertise in marketing, operations, finance, software development, franchising, corporate development, and fundraising. My consumer goods-focused career spans multiple categories, with particular passions for cannabis, health and wellness, sustainable food, entertainment, and craft beer. I have successfully led diverse projects across Canada, the US, and globally, consistently navigating complex, high-stakes business challenges.
At Human Race, we help ambitious entrepreneurs move quickly, scale intelligently, and achieve sustainable profitability. I continue to advise select startups and founders, driven by my passion for innovation, sustainability, and building great brands.
If you're working on something ambitious and need someone who moves fast and builds lean, let's connect.
