I lead the Customer Success team at HeroX -- a leader in open innovation and crowdsourcing. We create breakthrough solutions by connecting brilliant minds from around the world with the pressing problems facing top organizations. I have worked with brands such as NBC Entertainment, Booz Allen Hamilton, National Geographic, and NASA to find solutions through open innovation. I specialize in capturing the vision of an organization, crafting a problem to incentivize the crowd, and making it real. I am a strategic and analytical thinker who excels at bringing together diverse perspectives, facts, and experiences. Outside the office, I am a published scientist on Canadian salmon fisheries and a Director of the Seymour Salmonid Society. My work in the marine world has taken me to the coral reefs of the Bahamas and the wilderness of the Great Bear Rainforest. On the weekend, you can catch me paddling on the ocean or scuba diving within it.
