Experience
Founder & Chief Revenue OfficerCurrent
SideDrawer™ Inc. · Toronto, ON
Nov 2020 – Present
SideDrawer is the system of engagement for client documents and data at regulated financial institutions — the layer between the systems of record (CRM, core banking, ECM) and the people doing the work. Deployed at tier-1 Canadian financial institutions, beginning in wealth and expanding across insurance, direct investing, and business and commercial banking. Runs alongside Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, OpenText, FileNet, Okta, Azure AD, OneSpan, DocuSign and Broadridge — complementing the book of record rather than replacing it. I run enterprise pre-sales and solutions personally: over 250 enterprise evaluations reviewed at banks, insurers and wealth platforms, and over 175 firms in the wealth advisory firm category. Eight years in market, and through tier-1 vendor risk, security architecture review and privacy assessment at multiple institutions.
