The thinking behind the writing.
I spent a decade inside a mid-cap energy company working across corporate finance, enterprise risk, sustainability, and data analytics — not as a specialist in any one, but as the person asked to connect them. The common thread was always the same: take a messy, cross-functional problem, structure it until the trade-offs are visible, and help the right people decide.
The writing on this site comes from that work. Not the sanitized version, but the actual logic — how the models were framed, where the assumptions broke, what the second-order effects turned out to be.
Surge Energy Inc.
Built the company's data lake and BI practice from the ground up — architecture, vendor selection, data governance, and delivery. The work put capital deployment, production performance, and operational KPIs into a single system that executives use to make real-time decisions.
Surge Energy Inc.
Six years across every analytical function the company had. Built the corporate cash-flow and scenario models that drove quarterly guidance. Engineered commodity hedging dashboards that traders used daily. Launched enterprise risk management governance. Led cross-functional ESG reporting through its first three disclosure cycles.
Independent
Worked directly with founders and operators on the problems that precede growth: market entry assessments, financial models for capital raises, and roadmaps that connect strategy to execution. Short engagements, high stakes, no room for ambiguity.
Deloitte
Financial modeling for intercompany transactions across multinational structures. Technical work — aligning tax strategy with Canadian regulatory requirements — but the real education was in how large organizations make decisions: slowly, through documentation, stakeholder management, and institutional process.
