Co-Founder and CEO

Deloitte

I helped government implement new technologies. Saw firsthand the power of government, the kindness and commitment of civil servants, and how broken our public systems are. Most importantly, learned from a great team and committed mentors.

Consultant, Strategy & Operations

Ivey Business School at Western University

Big Data Analytics:
Writing Big Data Analytics cases under the supervision of Professor John Wilson for his MBA and MSc classes. Many of the statistical concepts covered in these classes---logistic regression, neural nets, clustering, and survival analysis, among others---have had no Ivey-style cases written about them. As a result, I am grateful for the opportunity to practice creative writing in the context of statistical analysis, describing how to solve business problems using these novel tools.

Business Communications:
Supporting Professor Kanina Blanchard's HBA and MSc business communications classes as a grader. Extremely grateful to support such an incredible professor!

Senior Counsellor 

Government is broken. We are building Publicus to fix it, starting with our procurement system.

I have worked at the intersection of tech, government, policy, and data all my life. I am obsessed with making government work for people, and am always interested in chatting more with those who feel the same.

Got a health tech that's ready to scale? Ontario wants YOU.

What's in it for innovators:
- One door, no maze - single point of entry for procurement
- Dedicated customer service team to guide you through every step
- Fast-track assessment for provincial adoption
- Direct access to clinical networks who need your solutions
- Funding available through the Health Technology Accelerator Fund

They're looking for: Medical devices, digital health tech, medical/surgical procedures, imaging/screening programs, lab/genetic testing, care delivery models (Must have Health Canada approval + TRL 8+)

Not for: Pharma, vaccines, health IT systems, HR, infrastructure

Who can apply: Anyone - companies, clinicians, researchers, patients, government partners. If you've got the innovation, they've got the pathway.

The pathway promises to accelerate promising innovations into Ontario's health system - improving patient outcomes while driving economic growth.

Let's be clear, this is still going to be way too slow for any startup or business to hang their hopes on it being their saving grace. However, if you are building in this space, it is clear you should apply. 

Nothing to lose!
