Work Experience
Principal | Vertical Software Lead
2022 - Current
I'm primarily spending time on vertical software/AI defining resilience in public health and safety (e.g., healthcare, life sciences, law enforcement/public safety, national security, etc.), industrial & supply chain (e.g., manufacturing, freight & logistics, etc.), and critical resources & infrastructure (e.g., oil & gas, alt energy, power, utilities, telecom, etc.). OMERS Ventures is the direct, early-stage venture arm of the $127B NAV Canadian pension plan Ontario Municipal Employee Retirement System (OMERS). OMERS manages the pension benefits for 600k municipal workers (e.g., nurses, firefighters, police officers, etc.) in the province of Ontario. We’re currently investing out of our 4th fund, focusing on horizontal B2B software/AI, vertical B2B software/AI, fintech/insurtech, and infrastructure software. We invest in Series A-C rounds with checks ranging in size from $5-25M. Example investments include Shopify, Hopper, Hootsuite, DuckDuckGo, Deliverect, Jobber, Altana, and Mosaic.tech. Under the OMERS umbrella, we also have Growth Equity, Private Equity Buyouts, Infrastructure, Real Estate (Oxford Properties), and Capital Markets strategies.

The goal was to identify which transcripts were asymmetrically localized and then to determine their possible roles in cellular development. ◻ Research was presented as a senior thesis in May of 2013 and was partially included in a scientific publication in G3 Journal in August of 2016 (see publications below).
