Summary
A passionate, influential IT executive with unique experience in modernizing, improving, and shoring up systems and applications across a medium sized provincial agency and large Canadian post-secondary education and non-profits. With a 23+ year history of collaboration across technical teams, faculty, and students on large, complex, multi-million-dollar IT projects, I have spent my career immersed in EdTech innovation, shaping the future intersection of technology and adult learning by taking calculated risks and leading new strategic approaches. An honest leader open to feedback, I bring a broad focus on cost effectiveness, user experience, cybersecurity, and performance. My knowledge base spans IT governance, enterprise architecture, and service management. My career highlights include: • Steering York University faculty’s transition to hybrid learning for 23K+ students, 900+ faculty, and 300+ staff. • Modernizing IT and cybersecurity for a public non-profit government agency organization of 1,300 staff and 80 clinics. • Leading transition to virtual (online) learning environments for York faculty of 100+ staff and 5K students. • Spearheading end-to-end IT modernization strategy for York’s leading professional legal education school. • Managing 70-account portfolio of post-secondaries (e.g., University of Ottawa, Dalhousie University) at D2L. • Boosting bandwidth 100x while reducing costs 50x after migrating Michener’s network to GTAnet and Orion.
