Rickaby
Executive in Residence
I bring a rich background in government relations and international trade. I have worked around the world driving sustainable business growth through collaboration with governments, investors, and other financing facilities.
I have successfully worked with businesses to acquire millions in grant funding, secure project financing, and expand globally. I have worked with federal funders, provincial innovation agencies, municipal governments, and Indigenous Nations.
I have a Master's in Public Policy and Global Affairs with a focus on sustainable development. My global experience derives from working with United Nations agencies, multiple development banks, international governments, and global MNCs. I prioritize understanding complex cultural, economic, and political contexts, and developing deep relationships with important stakeholders and partners.
In my free time, I can be found traveling, hiking with my dog Jaxon and exploring beautiful BC with my amazing wife Zameena.
