Career highlights
Six years, in highlights.
First under-seat DOT deployment in Canada
Led the first under-seat distributed antenna (DOT) deployment in Canada, 256 units, for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour at Rogers Centre.
Provincial network decoupling
Owned in-building decoupling for the provincial decouple program, with another carrier and Rogers exiting MOCN network sharing.
$35M in-building capital framework
Own prioritization and capital allocation for Rogers' Canada-wide in-building portfolio (~$35M/year, zero-rollover). Built a five-layer matrix and defended every line through three steering committees. High-ROI wins: a BC provincial health authority (~$10M/yr of business for a ~$3M build) and EQ Bank (~$400K build securing ~$700K/yr over 10 years).
Ted Rogers Award for Innovation in 5G (2024)
Led the TTC 5G subway launch, 85 stations and 15 km of tunnels, delivered under a federal regulatory deadline via a MOCN solution integrating Bell and Telus into the TTC DAS.
The PM gap, addressed
I don't have a decade of PM titles. I have product outcomes you can verify.
My job at Rogers is product strategy and prioritization on a $35M portfolio, even when the org chart called it RF Planning. Outside the office, I ship the things I'd otherwise pitch in a case interview.
Strategy & prioritization
Five-layer capital allocation matrix for Rogers in-building, defended through three steering committees. Wins: BC health authority (~$10M/yr for $3M build), EQ Bank (~$700K/yr over 10 years).

Notes from building.
The Hardest Part of Building an AI Product Isn't the AI
42 vulnerabilities, a hanging GPU, and 2007-era file formats: the gap between demo and deploy.
