I draw from more than 20 years of experience in executive human resources leadership in both corporate and public sector organizations.
I have held national and global HR roles with PepsiCo, where I focused on talent management and workforce strategy, and with Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL), where I oversaw HR in a highly regulated environment.
I have also held senior positions in public organizations, health care, and other industries. These experiences gave me a unique perspective on leading HR in both fast-paced multinational settings and complex, technical industries.
As a former commissioned officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, I am known for my steady leadership, practical advice, and deep expertise in labour relations and collective bargaining. Alongside my consulting work, I teach organizational behaviour as an adjunct assistant professor at Queen’s University’s Smith School of Business.
My academic credentials include a Doctor of Business Administration in Human Resources Management, a Master of Arts in War Studies, and a Higher Education Teaching Certificate from Harvard. I also hold Certified Human Resources Leader (CHRL) and Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designations.
I am passionate about helping leaders navigate complex workplace challenges with fairness and empathy, and I have a reputation for creating positive change through strong relationships and pragmatic solutions.
