Some of Our Team
Laurie drives the overall strategic direction and operational results for Dash Digital Group, drawing on more than 25 years of experience developing and delivering business strategy, projects and technology solutions across multiple industries and companies of all sizes. Prior to her current role, Laurie spent 15 years in leadership positions managing systems, projects, mergers and acquisitions for Manulife Financial.
Laurie has passionately advocated for the business use of the Internet since its early days and was even acknowledged in the landmark first edition of the Canadian Internet Handbook by Jim Carroll and Rick Broadhead in 1994. Laurie led the marketing initiatives at one of the first Canadian Internet Service Providers, and was responsible for the initial connections of national accounts such as the CBC and major banks. Laurie plays guitar and saxophone and is addicted to running in order to offset her passion for baking (and eating) scrumptious desserts. Oh, and did we mention that she’s really bad at telling good jokes?
Tushar is founder of the Hydra (aka: a multiple-headed beast in Greek mythology) and is responsible for the ongoing development of this revolutionary platform that allows for the rapid build-out of proprietary, adaptable and secure web applications. With over 15 years in the design and development of complex internet, mobile, gaming and operating systems, Tushar has proven time and time again that he can provide clients with leading-edge solutions to solve their most complex challenges. Part of Tushar's success is in genuine interest in becoming an expert in what our clients do. World domination via Ultimate Frisbee is what drives Tushar to be the evil genius he is, day in and day out.
