How Jamie is shaping the future with confidence

Jamie built EY’s Tech Talent Builder program to help Canadian Armed Forces veterans and their spouses move into civilian careers. Through free IT training, certifications and job placement support, the program has helped thousands of participants gain the skills they need to start meaningful technology careers. Many have landed their first IT roles and are now making a difference in their communities.

For Jamie, shaping the future with confidence takes many forms. Professionally, it means helping organizations strengthen cybersecurity, respond to threats and operate more safely and effectively. Personally, it means giving back by supporting young athletes at the hockey rink and helping them stay active and engaged.

Whether he’s helping protect clients from cyber risks or mentoring the next generation, Jamie believes every contribution can create positive change.
