Hello, I'm Brian
About
I help organizations figure out what to do when things get complicated
Most of my work sits at the intersection of infrastructure, strategy, transformation and human systems - usually at moments where the plans make sense, but progress is slowing, decisions are getting harder or coordination feels more fragile than it should.
​
I work with leaders, teams, and organizations to bring clarity, momentum, and direction when the path forward isn't obvious.
Most recently, I started and built the Strategy & Transformation practice in Canada for AECOM and I'm curently Advisory Services Leader, helping organizations navigate complexity, deliver ambitious projects, and build infrastructure that inspires.
What I've learned
Early in my career in Silicon Valley, I helped generate ideas customers loved—ideas that never made it out of the building. Not because they weren’t good, but because the organization wasn’t ready to pursue them. That was the moment I realized: what looks solid on paper often breaks down in behavior.
​
That insight followed me into infrastructure. I began to see the same pattern—good plans, capable teams, and yet progress stalled because the system underneath the work wasn’t designed for how people actually think, decide, and act under pressure.
​
That recognition is what led me to explore what’s possible when you design the human side of infrastructure as intentionally as the technical side.
Expertise

Publications
I write about the human side of complex work.
​
Much of what I write grows out of projects, conversations, and moments where something important is happening beneath the surface that needs to brought to the forefront. I love bringing light to the insights that are overlooked or misunderstood.
​
I’m interested in leadership under uncertainty, how teams actually function, how decisions get made under pressure, and what organizational design looks like beyond boxes and charts.
​
My aim isn’t to be theoretical. It’s to be honest, practical, and grounded in lived experience.
You'll can find my thinking and musings in the Human-Centered Infrastructure newsletter.
