I've spent 15 years advising startups, founding companies, and learning to see around corners. Two exits. A $15M heritage building restoration. And currently deep in the AI builder era, shipping code with AI agents and exploring what happens when product thinking meets direct technical execution. It's the next generation of product management: the Full-Stack Product Lead.
Toronto-based. Father. Occasionally right about the future.
Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong, but the exercise is valuable either way. I bet early on AI in healthcare (Bridge7), on the value of heritage buildings when everyone said Hamilton was dead (Westinghouse), and on biomedical research graphs before anyone cared about knowledge graphs (META → CZI).
Currently betting on: AI agents for product development and the idea that the best products will be built by people who can think clearly and ship code.
AI-powered radiotherapy treatment planning, trained on thousands of high quality radiation treatment plans from a world leading cancer center. Helped underserved patients access world-class oncology expertise when local options fell short. $3M+ raised, 12 clinical sites, Falcons' Fortunes win on World Cancer Day 2020.
Co-Founder & CEO · 2017–2020
Revived a Hamilton powerhouse: an iconic 7-story heritage landmark transformed into 70,000 sq ft of Class A office space including a 10,000 sq ft event venue. $15M restoration. National Trust award. Cornerstone of the city's East End revival.
Founder & GP · 2017–2021
Built the AI platform that mapped 67M+ biomedical research interests — helping scientists find collaborators and undiscovered connections across literature. Team grew from 0 to 20+. CZI's first acquisition.
VP Product · 2012–2015
Pioneered AI/ML models that detect emotional distress in digital content to protect children online. Instrumental in closing the Horizon Ventures seed round; led operations through acquisition.
Lead Product · 2015–2017
The same way internet traffic 1000x'd when computers started talking to computers, code volume is about to 1000x as AI writes code. That code needs to live somewhere. Cloudflare is positioning to be the edge layer where AI code deploys, runs, and serves.
