Michele Davies

Michele Davies has built her career on the front lines of corporate Canada adopting emerging technologies.  From the earliest days of web-enabled applications, enterprise resource planning systems and internet-driven business models, she has helped executive teams to plan and deliver strategic initiatives. As a business generalist, her projects cross lines of business, leverage her political acuity and structure complexity.

The foundation of her career focused on developing the processes, people, and systems to support strategic goals.  Over the last 15 years her operations expertise expanded to include finding, developing and managing significant domestic and international partnerships.  Most recently, she led and managed government and industry partnerships that supported the development of large strategic initiatives including leading a proposal to support the $400M ENCQOR proposal submission that brought pre-commercial 5G R&D infrastructure to small and medium companies in Ontario and Quebec.  An earlier IBM transit smartcard proposal valued at $200M harnessed IBM’s global knowledge base, local and international partners, and technology credentials to create a competitive market position.

Known for her strategic and grounded approach, Ms. Davies received an MBA from Ivey Business School and B. Math from the University of Waterloo and received her management consulting and project management training at IBM’s global training facilities.
