Twenty-five years building enterprise alliances and strategic partnerships across North America, Europe, and Asia — including the funding relationships behind one of the world's leading AI research labs. Open to board seats, advisory mandates, and select consulting engagements.
A cross-section of the partnerships and mandates that mattered — regardless of which job they came from.
Built and closed the corporate partnership strategy behind an $8M annual portfolio, securing $3.7M from Meta and $1M from RBC, and sustaining active relationships with Google, Microsoft, and Samsung.
Rebuilt the enterprise partnership strategy end-to-end, integrating ESG priorities into funding relationships and closing transformational agreements exceeding $1M each.
Led strategic relationship development for seven-figure accounts, coordinating institutional CSR and sustainability partnerships with corporate and government stakeholders.
Designed and executed a cross-border business development strategy for a legacy institution, building a new team and a new pipeline from the ground up.
Directed a multi-government-funded environment and livelihoods portfolio across 20+ countries, using change management to unlock 30% in additional funding.
Built Build 4 Abundance, a boutique consultancy for market and resource development, AI and technology enablement, and executive advisory — the throughline of a career spent building alliances.
The discipline most organizations underrate: alliances compound when governance, shared value, and executive sponsorship are designed in from day one — not bolted on after signature.
Where AI investment actually pays off is rarely the model itself — it's the enterprise partnership structure that gets it funded, governed, and adopted.
ESG-aligned partnerships hold up under scrutiny only when impact logic and reputational integrity are built into the commercial terms, not layered on as messaging.
As AI takes on more of the analysis, the executive's job narrows to something harder to automate: staying in charge of the "why."
Building Build 4 Abundance and co-founding New Life Europe taught me the other side of the table: what it takes to make the partnerships I used to broker actually pencil out as a founder.
Time spent on community and civic work outside a mandate — the relationships that keep judgment grounded in something other than a KPI.
I've led partnership functions from Toronto to London, working with governments, universities, and corporates across six continents. That range isn't incidental — it's the reason I read a partnership's risk and upside differently than someone who has only ever worked one market.
In 2021 I founded Build 4 Abundance to bring that lens to more organizations directly — advising on market and resource development, AI enablement, and CSR/ESG strategy.
I also co-founded New Life Europe, guiding families and professionals through relocating to Europe.
