Before that I did this for BMO, OREA and lululemon athletica. LinkedIn will tell you the full story.

- On the road to Rio 2016, I led the creation of the Canadian Olympic Club (olympicclub.ca), a next-generation fan club – driven by social login and gamification. It was the first of its kind for any National Olympic Team and industry leading by any pro sports standard, featuring physical and social rewards with one-click contest entry along with personalized content for fans. The data and insights it provided led us to more efficient media targeting and improved audience research as we segment & personalize content for our audience. We gained almost half a million registered fans.
