Founder: Ideas In Seeds Consulting
I've spent my career inside the transformations that matter most — and that tolerate failure the least. National bank acquisitions involved millions of clients that had to be migrated without disruption. Regulatory mandates from OSFI where the deadline was fixed and the scope kept expanding. Landmark developments where strategy, technology, construction, and brand had to move as one program.
I founded IDS because I saw the same pattern everywhere: organizations investing heavily in transformation and getting strategy decks instead of results. The consultants would leave after the recommendation phase. The internal team would be left to figure out execution. And the transformation would stall.
IDS works differently. I stay through execution. I embed with the client's team. And I measure success by whether the transformation is operating — not by whether the project was delivered on time and on budget (though it usually is).
Selected Engagements:
— Led technology and communications integration for a Top-5 Canadian bank's national acquisition

— Built and delivered regulatory compliance programs under OSFI / Bank of Canada mandates

— Program Director for enterprise-wide data, operations, and technology transformation at Fortune 500 organizations
Credentials:
— PMP (Project Management Professional),
— Certified Management Consultant (CMC)
— IT Management Leadership Program (ITMLP).
I work with leaders who are past the point of needing advice and need someone who can execute. If that's where you are, let's talk
