About

Who am I?

I'm a Technical Program Manager with 12+ years of experience building at the intersection of product, engineering, and execution. My work spans AI platforms, large-scale capital programs, and enterprise transformation — and what connects all of it is a bias toward action, clarity, and getting things shipped.

My career has taken me from running a ~$100M global construction program at Teck — managing 14 work streams across 4 time zones — to founding Binoloop, an AI startup that built real products for government clients and earned international recognition. Along the way I've led teams through regulatory complexity, cross-cultural dynamics, and the particular chaos that comes with building AI products before the playbook exists.

I was born in Mauritius 🌊, which gave me a multilingual upbringing — I'm fluent in French, English, and Creole — and a comfort with navigating across cultures that I've carried into every global team I've led. I'm now based in Calgary and actively looking for a TPM or operational leadership role at a global tech company where I can make a real impact and put 12+ years of hard-won experience to work. Open to hybrid or remote, and happy to relocate if the right role calls for it.

tap to flip
Growing up in Mauritius means switching between French, English, and Creole daily. Communicating across cultures — and across teams — comes naturally.
Origin story
Running a business before high school

I was running a small business before I was a teenager. The instinct to build something from nothing has never left — it's why I thrive in early-stage environments.
Hidden talent
Competitive doubles tennis 🎾
tap to flip
I have a twin sister — we played competitive doubles tennis in high school. Reading your partner, moving as a unit. Translates well to cross-functional programs.
Superpower
4–5 timezones, one team

On large capital programs I managed teams from North America to Asia. Early standups, late calls, and the discipline to make async actually work.

Having a twin means I've been learning to collaborate, compete, and complement someone else my whole life. It might explain why I read team dynamics fast.
Range
Mining → GovTech AI → Trade Delegate
tap to flip
Mining, consulting, AI startups, and international trade missions to Australia and France. Adaptability isn't just a resume word — it's a lifestyle.
Leadership Philosophy

How I Lead

"The best programs I've run weren't about the tech — they were about the people who built it."
I lead by creating clarity out of ambiguity, then getting out of the way so the team can execute. Strong program management isn't about having all the answers — it's about asking the right questions early, building trust across functions, and being the person who makes it easier for everyone else to do their best work. Mentorship is a core part of how I show up as a leader. If I'm doing my job well, the people around me are growing.
