Participates in 1 Session

As the Vice President of Innovation & Construction Technology at EllisDon, I work with my team to integrate traditional construction methods with advanced technologies, including Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), computer vision, robotics, and to support lean construction along with modern methods of construction. Our digital construction strategy balances respect for proven practices with the drive to adopt the efficiency, sustainability, and abundance of modern technology, aiming to lead the digital shift transforming our industry.

My career began as an architectural technologist, producing construction documents, followed by an on-site coordinator role, where I was a part of the team turning design into reality. These experiences have given me a practical understanding of how technology can both enhance and bottleneck construction workflows. This dual perspective informs our approach to bridging the gap between field needs and project teams with innovative technology solutions.

As a Board Member at Building Transformations, I advocate for adopting new technologies within the construction industry, aiming for continuous improvement and innovation. I am honoured to have been named one of the Top 40 Under 40 in Canadian construction, reflecting EllisDon’s progressive culture.

Through the EllisDon ConTech Accelerator and Pilot Programs, I support the growth of startups and scale-ups, ensuring EllisDon remains at the forefront of the evolving construction tech landscape. My passion for innovation is driven by a relentless curiosity and a commitment to transforming what could be into reality.
