Executive Director, propel ICT
New Brunswick, Canada
An entrepreneur at heart, Jeff has extensive experience in creating, establishing, and growing business ventures throughout Canada. Jeff founded and grew five successful companies, three of them ICT-based, and has been a strong supporter of business development in Saint John, volunteering his time in multiple ICT industry efforts.
Thinking big and aiming for world class are two approaches that have guided Jeff in all his endeavours. From the start-up of an accelerator to its ongoing management. From his matching of entrepreneurs to mentors. Jeff applies his collaborative and creative nature to ideas and projects. His engagement of stakeholders, experts and funders has helped create an information technology ecosystem.
A native of Nova Scotia and educated at UNB Fredericton, Jeff established and built a private corporate medical services company in downtown Vancouver. During his time in BC, Jeff also enjoyed success as the founder and creator of an online fitness service and a web development firm in Whistler before returning to the Maritimes in 2000 to raise his family and to do his part to help build our regional economy from Saint John, NB. Jeff’s community involvement has been spread across performing arts, chambers of commerce, urban planning, and heritage development advocacy.
