As a vision strategist, I bring people together to form a vision and then creates a clear path to make things happen in an organized and efficient manner. I am a lawyer and economist with extensive experience in international relations, public administration, public governance, public policy, and financial regulation in Canada and abroad. Most recently, I was a Director at the Department of Finance Canada, where I led a team responsible for developing policies on payment cards, and the Director of Enterprise Risk Management at the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation. I now serves as a Principal Analyst at the Bank of Canada.
