I have worked in the corporate, consulting, academic and  not-for-profit sectors. In a career that includes 25 years with the Canadian oil and gas industry, I've worked and studied in North America, Asia and Europe. I developed a writing and consulting practice in the 1990s, and am the author or co-author of four books – three on business history and one on language learning. A member of Rotary, I have been active in international development projects since 2004.
