Passionate about building new markets and opportunities for geospatial technology, in 2010, I founded Sparkgeo because geospatial can change everything.
I have an academic background in engineering and remote sensing, with a recent postgraduate diploma in strategy and innovation from Oxford. Now my team and I create cross-cutting geospatial solutions for clients from across the globe. We work with some of the biggest brands in technology, agriculture, automotive and aerospace, building cutting-edge geospatial platforms and modernizing legacy systems.
I chair the Hubspace, which supports technology entrepreneurs in Northern BC, and advise Cultivation Capital's Geospatial fund.
