Digitally-enabled
Today’s businesses can be run effectively and at scale using new-generations tools. I’m very comfortable in a whole-suite of cloud technologies that are safe, secure and reliable. Here are just a few.

EventBrite |
Eventbrite is an online platform where event organizers can plan, promote, and sell tickets to events and publish them across Facebook, Twitter and other social-networking tools directly from the site's interface. It also enables attendees to find and purchase tickets to these experiences.
I've set up dozens of events (both large and small) and sold thousands of tickets using Eventbrite. Additionally, Timeraiser became one of the first event series in Canada to move to a paperless guest list thanks to Eventbrite’s mobile check-in apps.
