Bio

Blockchain enthusiast who is passionate about Blockchain technology and committed to help growing the Blockchain ecosystem in Canada and around the world. I have over 15 years experience in finance, marketing, education, hospitality, product design, big data analytics and strategy with well renowned organisations, including in C level executive positions. I am a strong critical thinker and have a passion for innovation. I am very active in the Blockchain space. I lead the strategic initiatives at The BlockchainHub and also lead the C-Lab incubation program, the first peer-to-peer community based incubation program for Blockchain startups. I was also a mentor at the Blockchain for Social Impact Hackathon, the first international decentralized impact accelerator, where teams around the world solved challenges around financial inclusion, supply chain, identity & vulnerable populations and energy & environment. My researches are keenly focused on the intersection of Blockchain with other technologies, what I like to call ''The Autonomous Revolution''. I am currently a co-founder and CTO of IR4LAB, I am leading Blockchain education programs at Lassonde Professional Development (York University - Canada), I am a member of the Internet Society Blockchain SIG and had the opportunity to co-author a white paper on over-the-top services policy and how Blockchain technology can help solve problems such as worldwide broadband connectivity, copyright infringement and decentralised partnership models. I presented the white paper at the International Telecommunication Union meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. Furthermore, I am a ''Durland Innovation Award'' recipient for a Blockchain use case; The use case was described as ''A cutting edge security technology to protect artists from forgeries and theft.” I am also holder of the ''Beta Gamma Sigma International Award” Finally, I am fluently trilingual and holds a Bachelor degree in Banking and Insurance and two Masters degrees, the first in Business Administration and Engineering Logistics, the second in Technology, Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
