Principal - Vertical AI

2022

I'm primarily spending time on vertical AI defining resilience in public health and safety (e.g., healthcare, life sciences, law enforcement/public safety, national security, etc.), industrial & supply chain (e.g., manufacturing, freight & logistics, etc.), and critical resources & infrastructure (e.g., energy & power, utilities, telecom, etc.). OMERS Ventures is the direct, early-stage venture arm of the C$138B NAV Canadian pension plan Ontario Municipal Employee Retirement System (OMERS). OMERS manages the pension benefits for 600k+ municipal workers (e.g., firefighters, police officers, etc.) in the province of Ontario. We’re currently investing out of our 4th fund, focusing on B2B software (both infra & app layers) and fintech. We invest in Series A-C rounds with checks ranging in size from $5-25M. Under the OMERS umbrella, we also have Growth Equity, Private Equity Buyouts, Infrastructure, Real Estate (Oxford Properties), and Capital Markets strategies.

Focus areas: NEUROSCIENCE, GENETICS, CELLULAR DEVELOPMENT ◻ Independently researched & developed methods for screening mRNA asymmetrically localized in D. melanogaster neuromuscular junctions. ◻ Utilized the EP-MS2 method (combining EP transposon insertion with MS2/MCP in vivo fluorescent labeling) to screen for novel localized mRNA transcripts. The goal was to identify which transcripts were asymmetrically localized and then to determine their possible roles in cellular development. ◻ Research was presented as a senior thesis in May of 2013 and was partially included in a scientific publication in G3 Journal in August of 2016 (see publications below).
