A commercially savvy professional in international sales, marketing, and supply chain strategy, with over 20 years of experience driving operational excellence and competitive advantage across the transportation and logistics sector. This journey has included leadership roles at Fortune 150 and CPG companies, with a strong foundation in maritime and intermodal operations.
After six rewarding years with CPKC, supporting cross border collaboration and commercial strategy, the transition to Michigan State University marked a new chapter focused on advancing industry partnerships and shaping the future of rail through research, education, and program development at the Center for Railway Research and Education (CRRE).
This global perspective is grounded in deep market knowledge across North America and Europe, strengthened by five international assignments in the USA, Spain, Italy, Russia, and Canada. Academic credentials include an MBA from McMaster University, Certified Logistics Professional (CCLP) designation from Canada’s Logistics Association and a specialized M.I.S.E. (Maersk International Shipping Education) certification from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Outside of work, life is anchored by a close-knit family - married with two sons who continue to inspire pride and purpose. A lifelong hockey enthusiast, drawn to the sport’s grit, strategy, and camaraderie, much like the values that guide a career in transportation and leadership.
