Northern Ontario

I’m the Manufacturing Consortium Manager for Northern Ontario, where I coordinate and deliver programs that support the competitiveness and growth of Canadian manufacturers. In my role, I connect industry leaders, facilitate best-practice sharing, and help members turn strategy into actionable improvements.

I’m passionate about helping manufacturers strengthen their operations and workforce resilience. For me, the most rewarding part of this work is seeing members use EMC’s network and resources to innovate, grow, and thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Please connect with me, anytime, to discuss anything manufacturing!
