What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can apply traffic engineering, data-driven analytics, and security risk expertise to improve road safety, reduce congestion, protect assets, grow revenue, and mentor teams.

I’m a versatile senior leader, consultant, and educator with over three decades spanning transportation engineering, traffic management, logistics, sales leadership, security management, and business development. Since September 2011, I’ve served as a Traffic Management Specialist with the Traffic Management Branch, Ministry of Works & Transport, leading district-wide initiatives and using traffic data to improve road safety and reduce congestion. I’m known for building high-performing, cross-functional teams and delivering measurable outcomes for clients and communities.

I bring Doctorate-qualified credentials, including a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and a Doctor of Science (Dr.Sc.), supported by an MBA and a Master of Applied Science in Transportation Engineering and Management. I combine data-driven analysis with practical execution to turn operational and safety challenges into scalable solutions. As an educator, I also develop training on data collection methods to strengthen team capability and data quality.

My impact includes earning the Road Safety Award for exceptional contribution to traffic safety, directing a 9-month strategic project installing 17 speed humps to exact specifications, and contributing to drafting municipal traffic ordinances. Earlier in my career, I led business development and sales—earning top salesman recognition in part-time sales—and managed security and loss prevention operations by implementing security policies and threat and risk assessments to meet KPIs. I consistently prioritize stakeholder alignment, compliance, and risk-informed decision-making to safeguard organizational assets and people.
