Board Experience

Over the past 45+ years, I've had the privilege of serving on more than 50 boards (36 for-profit businesses and 16 not-for-profits), and I've chaired 12 of those boards. I have served on and chaired numerous audit, governance and compensation committees. This journey has taken me into boardrooms of all shapes and sizes, each with its own lessons. Some examples:
  • Innovative Tech Ventures: Board Chair of a disruptive building-tech firm with five ex Fortune 50 CEO fellow directors reinventing an industry.

  • Wealth Management: served a wealth management firm ($15B AUM), through a period of rapid growth and national expansion.

  • Global Non-Profit: Board Vice-Chair of an international NGO tackling global challenges with mission-driven governance and undergoing a profound industry-leading transformation.

  • Startup to Scale-Up: Corporate director of a BC manufacturing startup which scaled into a $1B business without losing its entrepreneurial spirit.

  • Food & Employee-Owned Companies: Board roles in food production businesses and employee-owned companies – helping them grow sustainably while building strong ownership cultures.

Core Services / Areas of Expertise

Governance Consulting

I'm often asked why, after four decades and more than 50 board appointments, I still get excited before every board meeting. The answer is simple: I care deeply about helping organizations thrive, and I learn something new from every leadership challenge. Every board I've served on – from local and national middle market companies to international non-profits – has reinforced my belief that good governance is about people as much as it is about profits or policies. It's about creating an environment where everyone's voice is heard, tough issues are navigated with empathy and insight, and the organization achieves its purpose
