In 2006, after 12 years in the energy/cleantech space as a geophysicist, a part-time world cup windsurfing racer, a strategy consultant, and a director of policy to a Canadian cabinet minister, he co-founded Pulse Energy, shepherding its evolution into the world’s leading energy intelligence software company for businesses at the time of its sale in 2014. After a family sabbatical in the French Polynesia in 2016, he co-founded Thrive Health with his co-founder from Pulse as well as his brother James.
