About

Inventor. Investor. Builder.

I am an inventor, investor and advisor. I am passionate about creating change by supporting entrepreneurs and inventors with the resources and expertise they need to excel. Throughout my career I have been involved in patenting more than 100 inventions. Currently I am the co-founder and COO of Solaires, a cleantech startup bringing next-generation solar cells. I also sit on the boards of a handful of technology companies. As an investor I am interested in AgroTech, BioMed, Digital Health, Nanotech, Cleantech and AI — preference for BC-based companies.
