We understand how to frame industry issues so that they resonate with decision makers, whether they're politicians or public servants, in government or opposition. Your challenges become their priorities through strategic positioning and relationship building.
Government Advocacy
"Arthur brought financial services expertise and government insights that were instrumental in helping RBC navigate the rollout of the Canadian Emergency Business Account program during the pandemic.
Arthur collaborated directly with our team to solve urgent issues as the program evolved in real-time, ensuring that thousands of RBC SME clients could access critical funding when they needed it most."

Engaging with Regulators
Nexus brings real expertise in navigating Canada's financial regulatory landscape. Our team has direct experience working with OSFI, FCAC, provincial financial services regulators, and other regulatory bodies that shape your operating environment.
Our approach turns complex compliance challenges into opportunities for dialogue, positioning your business as an essential stakeholder for regulators.
"Arthur partnered with me to engage Canada's key regulators, including OSFI, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, FSRA Ontario, and AMF Quebec. His ability to translate complex technology into regulatory language secured the buy-in we needed.
For any fintech looking to scale in Canada, Arthur understands how to position innovation within regulatory frameworks to get to 'Yes’ and helped us navigate multiple jurisdictions efficiently.”
Christopher Briggs, Former Chief Marketing Officer, Equifax Canada
Public Strategy for Financial Services Innovators
Governments often struggle to keep pace with innovation due to outdated regulatory frameworks and risk-averse cultures. Nexus bridges this gap by translating breakthrough technologies into language regulators understand and policies they can support.
Whether advancing Web3 financial infrastructure, new payment technologies, or open banking implementation, we help innovators navigate sandbox programs, shape modernization efforts, and build coalitions that accelerate regulatory evolution. Our approach ensures you can scale your business while actively participating in creating the framework for tomorrow's financial services.
"Arthur understands what drives Canadian consumers in financial services, including their appetite for innovation and where real opportunities exist in a market dominated by the Big Six banks.
At Equifax, he grew our consumer fintech business significantly, identifying market gaps and positioning our solutions where competitors couldn't move fast enough.
Arthur knows how to turn market constraints into competitive advantages."
Carol Gray, Former CEO, Equifax Canada
