• an early marketing, sales and customer success hire

  • Jul 2014 - May 2015

  Hubba was my first job in tech. I would eventually go on to meet my Shoelace co-founders here. This was my first exposure to the finding product market fit, developing marketing messages, managing customer accounts, working with dev teams... I don't even want to try to write an exhaustive list because I learned so much at Hubba.

• "Manager of Strategic Planning & Analysis"

  • Jul 2013 - Mar 2014

  My favourite thing about this job was a project I managed - the shutting down and divestiture of all Cold Stone Creamery locations in Canada (which at the time were located within Tim Hortons restaurants). This was my first first job at a 'Company' and it was my first experience with cross-functional teams.

  This was my first 'real' job (because I worked there longer than a few months). I was a generalist and gravitated towards marketing securities for oil and gas companies - one IPO and a bunch of bonds and loans. I think if you added up all the values of those deals it'd be several billion dollars, but I don't have the exact figure. (Even if I had the exact figure it I wouldn't share it because it's a weird thing to be proud of.)

(Even if I had the exact figure it I wouldn't share it because it's a weird thing to be proud of.) Something I'm proud of - when I did formal training, the training company (that also worked for many bulge bracket banks) held a contest where you had to format an excel file in a time trial (the faster the better). At the time I was the #2 highest all time score. This mattered very little to others but I was and am pretty proud. This job was great because I learned how executive management teams make decisions, how to 'position' ideas, what an investment bank does, and more broadly, what advisers/consultants do. Show less

  • Sep 2009 - Jan 2010

  Toronto, Canada Area This was my first job out of school. Having graduated in 2009 (and gone through recruiting cycles in 2008), it was difficult for me to land any job in the finance industry. I'm aware that close to zero people have sympathy for this and that's cool. I really appreciate this job because I learned a lot about the currency markets, physical commodities markets, and stock index futures (proxy for equities).
