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.

Business Intelligence Analyst

Surge Energy Inc.

Planning Analyst

Six years across every analytical function the company had. Built the corporate cash-flow and scenario models that drove quarterly guidance.

Independent

Consulting

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.

2014 — 2016

Deloitte

Transfer Pricing Analyst

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.
