For most of the past twenty years he has advised Canadian companies on developing their U.S. businesses and American companies on developing their businesses in Canada. As an American having spent most of his adult life in Canada dealing with a wide array of businesses, he brings a unique cross-cultural perspective to clients faced with the challenges of developing the ‘other market’. He advises companies in the fields of technology, software, media, web and business to business applications, as well as manufacturing. His specialty in this regard is taking hands-on responsibility for getting companies established on the right foot in the United States. Tom founded the Quebec chapter of the American Chamber of Commerce in Canada and was its president for a decade. Earlier in his career, he ran business development for a petrochemical company, was a project leader for a major contractor and professional services provider in international development, and was strategy management practice leader for an international management consulting firm in their Montreal office. He has also worked extensively in public and government affairs. In the late 1980’s and more recently from 2009 to 2010, he took leaves of absence from business to serve as chief of staff to ministers of the Government of Canada.
