'''Director General, Digital Academy, Canada School of Public Service''' <br>
As a driven, passionate and creative leader and change agent, my career, skills and experiences span across public service, private interests and personal goals. My goal is to reimagine and revitalize the public service - transforming it into an organization that can meet and exceed the needs and expectations of Canadians.

Over the past 17 years I've worked on immigration enforcement, investigated war crimes, patrolled Toronto with the Toronto Police Service, conducted surveillance and counter smuggling activities with as an RCMP officer, participated in public relations duties in Japan, managed national security activities with the Canada Border Services Agency, developed legislation, regulations and policy on import, export and cross-border law enforcement operations, contributed to the re-writing of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, created and lead a community of passionate managers in Public Safety Canada, worked to improve the traveler experience with the CBSA and currently lead the Government of Canada's enterprise social network and wiki - working to build a single, collaborative and high performing public service to better serve Canadians.

Driven and imaginative, I've reverse mentored three Deputy Ministers, reimagined and built new ways to improve the traveler experience and acted as a catalyst for change - driving innovation in policy thinking, service delivery, information management and collaboration.
<br><br>
An avid Python and Go developer, I've built web apps, event simulations, conducted social network analysis, graphed and analyzed social media, analyzed big data with Spark, built machine learning classifiers and used natural language analysis to directly improve my organizations.
<br><br>
I'm a top level communicator and writer, a powerful presenter and, above all a storyteller - bringing data, business experience, curiosity and play together into a single narrative.
