The Early Steps & Educational Foundations
My path began with a strong focus on business and management, drawn to the idea that effective leadership can bring clarity to complexity. Motivated by both theory and real-world application, I earned a Doctorate in Business Administration. Along the way, I obtained several professional certifications that expanded my understanding and skill set:
Project Management Professional (PMI-PMP)
Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)
Professional Scrum Master (PSM I)
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
Risk-informed Governance (United Nations UNDRR)
Agile Data & Information Management (Charles Sturt University)
Each certification represented a stepping stone, giving me the tools to navigate and add value across different industries and organizational cultures.
A Multi-Industry Career: Learning from Every Sector
Rather than following a single, defined route, I welcomed opportunities that allowed me to explore multiple industries. These diverse experiences broadened my perspective on business operations, project management, and leadership. My background includes:
Oil & Gas and Industrial Procurement: Working in high-stakes environments that demand precision, efficiency, and strategic thinking.
Steel and Fabrication: Contributing to large-scale engineering projects and addressing real-world manufacturing challenges.
Engineering & Construction: Coordinating cross-functional teams and managing intricate project deliverables.
Information Technology & Animation Studios: Blending technical innovation with creative processes in fast-paced settings.
Education & Training: Transitioning into academia to mentor future business leaders, share knowledge, and conduct research on topics like project management, AI in business, and strategic portfolio management.
My roles have ranged from consultant and project manager to business analyst, instructor, and most recently, Assistant Professor in Business Management. In each capacity, I’ve built skills in strategic management, project governance, process optimization, and technology integration.
Building Expertise Through Experience
Over time, I’ve honed an approach that bridges both technical proficiency and strategic insight. Some core areas I focus on include:
Project Management & Business Analysis: Streamlining organizational initiatives for efficiency and success.
Strategic Planning & Process Improvement: Identifying operational gaps and implementing solutions that drive sustainable growth.
Entrepreneurship & Business Development: Founding and scaling ventures—such as my consultancy firm, VertexPro Initiatives Inc. (specializing in training and management consulting), and Magazic Inc., a not-for-profit online digital magazine devoted to spreading knowledge about health and wellness in Canada.
Education & Research: Guiding students, shaping academic programs, and exploring how AI-driven solutions can transform modern business environments.
