I've spent three decades selling software to the world's enterprises, starting at Microsoft — a technology optimist always drawn to the frontier, and with prior CEO experience, and the lessons learned from it. I served seven years as an infantry officer with the Seaforth Highlanders.
My love of history started as a child — Parks Canada historic sites, and my first visit to the Royal Ontario Museum. The genesis for veradis was personal: piecing my grandfather's service history back together from scattered fragments, and seeing what graph technology and machine learning could make of them. Our heritage is our identity, whether we hold it as an individual, a family, a collector, or an institution. Keeping it — and weaving it together — is why I'm building this.
