CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I've spent over seven years at Scotiabank growing commercial portfolios and structuring lending solutions for mid-market, enterprise, franchise, and small-business clients across Canada. In the GTA, I grew a combined deposits and lending portfolio from approximately $50MM to $160MM and ranked #1 revenue-generating Business Banker in Canada during COVID.
As Scotiabank's Franchise Specialist for the Prairies, I led regional strategy for multi-unit franchise operators and originated credit facilities across lending, deposits, cash management, and payments. I also mentored more than 12 Relationship Managers and Small Business Advisors on deal structuring, account strategy, and expansion.
More recently, I advised institutional investors and business owners at Cushman & Wakefield and haus & haus in Dubai on commercial real estate, underwriting, due diligence, and transaction execution. I bring experience across commercial lending, real estate finance, B2B M&A advisory, and executive relationship management.
