Formerly from Toronto Canada but living in Sydney for the last two years. Currently looking for opportunities where I can apply my skills and experience with using research to support good decision-making.
My Interest in Competitive Intelligence is:
I took a CI course in MBA school with Craig Fleisher and translated that into positions with a publicly-traded software company followed by KPMG. Keenly interested in decisions supported by research including CI, BI etc.
