I’m a technical founder and CEO. Mathematics was my first love; engineering is what I built with. I trained in mathematics and electrical engineering, and spent the years around that inside startups in software, wireless, alternative fuels, and energy. I founded Awesense to help solve the primary energy challenges and make energy more accessible and cheaper by giving utilities a digital twin of the grid — a shared data foundation they can use to find and fix problems, not another locked-in application. I’m also the Co-Chair of the BCTECH Sustainability Council (formerly Climate Council). I bring the view of a technical founder selling enterprise software, cloud, and hardware to high-stakes buyers, and I’m looking for peers who will be honest about the growth-phase stretch — I’ll be the same.

I'm an environmental tech innovator and seasoned IT executive, driven by a mission to harness technology for a sustainable future. With a strong foundation in data operations, strategy, and analytics, I've successfully led major data initiatives, including enterprise data architecture, governance, and migration, in complex organizations.

The Founders Network CleanTech Initiative brings together founders building a more sustainable future, from energy and agriculture to transportation.
