I am a Canadian and Bajan citizen, raised in Toronto. My mother is from Jamaica and my father is from Barbados. I grew up with a Chinese best friend and learned the violin from an Armenian teacher. Where my parents come from, nobody rose alone and nobody fell alone.
I started out as a materials scientist at NASA Langley, moved into consulting, left for start-ups in San Francisco, worked in New York, and eventually landed at KPMG. If you had told me at twenty-two that this is where I would end up, I would have laughed.
The violin has been the one constant in my life.

01 / PRACTICE
Better questions. Consequential decisions.
I am a Partner and Head of AI Research at KPMG. I work with boards and senior executives in financial services, energy and utilities, healthcare, telecommunications and government.
I get brought in where technology, data and strategy run into each other. Nobody hires a consultant because things are simple.
Appointed the firm’s first Head of AI Research in March 2026.
I started playing as a child and never stopped. I have shared stages with Sting, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige and Pitbull. With The Ghost Tapes, I rebuilt Glenn Gould’s The Idea of North for a sold-out Koerner Hall.
“Renting intelligence is a dangerous way to run a business.”
I write about what happens to judgment when we hand it to machines, who owns the intelligence we rent, and what the people selling this technology owe the people who will live with it.
Nerd. Among other things.
