BC Ferries

As the primary provider of coastal ferry transportation in the province, BC Ferries recognizes its unique role in the region's economy. What began in 1960 as a two vessel, two terminal operation has grown into one of the largest, most sophisticated ferry transportation systems in the world.

As a Senior Project Manager within the IT Department, I was responsible for managing and delivering several large capital projects.
