§ PATH

Twelve years in, the same lesson

Special-operations discipline, then management-consulting rigour, then product. Different rooms, one conviction: technology creates lasting value only when someone owns the human system it lands in.

12 YEARS

Canadian Armed Forces

COMBAT ENGINEER OFFICER · COMBAT DIVER

Led in high-stakes, high-ambiguity environments where outcomes mattered more than outputs — and people were the mission. Where clarity under pressure is not a slogan.

02

KPMG

MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT

Sharpened those instincts inside complex transformation programs for banks, public agencies, and multinationals — where the technical answer only counts if the organisation can carry it.

FelixClark

DIRECTOR, PRODUCT & ENGINEERING

Principal lead for product, engineering, and design; a key contributor across go-to-market, operations, and customer success. Sole technical owner of two 0-to-1 AI-native products at once — from framing through architecture, code, and launch.

THE CONVERGENCE

The most durable products are held by the same hands.

Rigorous engineering, genuine user understanding, and disciplined execution — I'm increasingly convinced this convergence belongs to an emerging discipline: the product engineer who can both decide what to build and build it. That's the leader I'm becoming, and the kind of team I want to help build.

§ READINESSPREPARED FOR THE ROOMS THAT FILTER

The rounds most people fail — and how I train for them.

CUSTOMER-EMPATHY ROLEPLAY

The FDE round that filters most candidates. Twelve years leading people is the preparation.

PROBLEM DECOMPOSITION

Ambiguity in, structure out — the consulting habit, applied to messy real data.
