Responsum Consulting delivers strategic insights and evidence-based solutions

​

As Principal Consultant, I bring two decades of experience spanning research, policy analysis, and organizational leadership to help government agencies, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and advocacy groups navigate critical issues in drug policy, criminal justice reform, public health, and organizational development.

​

Expertise That Delivers Results

My approach combines rigorous academic research with practical implementation experience. I've designed and led evaluation programs for Canada's largest municipal police service, advised government ministries on policy reform, and managed large research initiatives examining everything from cannabis regulation to prison communication systems. This breadth of experience allows me to see challenges from multiple perspectives and develop solutions that work in real-world settings.

Core specializations include:
 

• Drug policy development and cannabis regulation

• Criminal justice system evaluation and reform

• Harm reduction and public health strategy

• Organizational performance management and training effectiveness

• Educational program development and accessibility

• Research methodology and program evaluation

 

Proven Track Record

Recent engagements have included developing cannabis education frameworks for the Canadian Public Health Association, conducting knowledge translation work for the Mental Health Commission of Canada, and leading training evaluation projects with the Toronto Police Service. My research has influenced policy discussions across three countries and has been featured in major media outlets, including CBC, BBC, ZDF, and The Globe and Mail.

​

As Director of Humber College's Centre for Social Innovation, I built out our community engagement and research capacity to support organizations of all sizes while maintaining rigorous academic standards. My consulting practice focuses on delivering actionable insights that drive meaningful change—whether that's improving training effectiveness, developing evidence-based policies, or creating sustainable organizational solutions.

​

Academic Foundation

I hold a Ph.D. in Social Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science, where my research examined the implementation of performance management in policing. This academic foundation, combined with hands-on experience at organizations like the ACLU, Ontario Parole Board, and UK Ministry of Justice, provides the analytical rigour and practical understanding necessary for complex consulting challenges.

​

Building the Right Team

While I lead all consulting engagements, Responsum leverages a network of fractional consultants to assemble the optimal team for each project. Drawing from relationships with academics, industry experts, specialized consultants, and emerging scholars, we ensure every engagement benefits from the precise expertise required. This collaborative model allows us to scale our capabilities while maintaining the quality and strategic oversight that complex challenges demand.
