Global Networking Night: Montreal

Passionate about all things at the intersection of healthcare and data!

Having recently left ABC News after 20 years as a national & foreign correspondent, I am looking for my next big adventure. New to Canada & to Quebec. I’m hoping that my daughter, who is at school in Montreal, will be joining me.

Data Science

A former President of the Harvard Club of Ottawa, and rep from Canada on the Harvard Alumni Association Board, I have recently established a fund for undergraduates wishing to have a mentored internship at a Canadian non-profit, especially ones related to climate change, or health care. So do let Harvard know of organizations that might be interested! https://publicservice.fas.harvard.edu/canadian-internship-fund. I live in Ottawa but hopefully will be in Montreal on the day!

entrepreneurship, high-tech and innovations... Also love chatting about aviation and travels.

Nonprofits, Volunteering, Writing, Hiking, Backpacking, anything outdoors.

Montreal, Environment, Public Policy, politics, climate change/security

I’m a professor at McGill University who works in sustainable energy. I was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard for 2 years. I enjoy culture, dining, yoga, and outdoor activities.

I am relatively new to Montreal. Active in the tech start up space mostly through Anges Quebec. My background is in Buyouts in Europe, project finance in central Europe and strategy consulting before that in France. My PhD from Harvard is in decision theory - the engineering school / business school. First degree is in Physics from McGill.

Hoping to connect around practical solutions for people affected by climate change, messaging surrounding climate change, the performing arts in general, and the importance of physical education. J'habite à Montréal une partie de l'année, et ce serait bien de rencontrer des diplômés de la région!
