A small-town kid from Welland steps into the University of Toronto with a big-city mindset. By the time he graduates, he’s already running businesses out of the engineering lab, employing peers, hacking systems, and thinking bigger.
Armed with a $25K loan and an operator’s hunger, Anthony launches Globalive. No pedigree, no parachute, just conviction. The bet? Build fast, stay lean, and own the infrastructure.
Anthony founded WIND Mobile and took on Canada’s telecom titans. What follows is a seven-year battle through regulatory red tape and corporate resistance, culminating in a billion-dollar exit.
Anthony launches the Shamba Foundation, a platform that lets employees volunteer on company time. Internet and phones are donated to underserved kids. Homes are built through Habitat for Humanity. “Little Geeks” and Pogo get tech access for those who’ve never had it. This isn’t philanthropy for optics. It’s infrastructure for opportunity.
WIND Mobile is acquired by Shaw.
From a scrappy challenger to a national network with 1,500 towers, 300 stores, 1,200 employees, and almost a million customers.
Anthony launches Beyond Innovation on Bloomberg TV. The show airs in 73 countries, spotlighting tech breakthroughs and founder grit. He also debuts his podcast, Trailblaze featuring raw, real founder conversations.
How We Can Win hits shelves and becomes a Top 10 Business Book at Indigo. It’s a callout to Canadian complacency and a blueprint for what’s next.
Not just startups. The ecosystems around them. Anthony became a founding supporter of NEXT Canada, Creative Destruction Lab, DMZ, UofT Hatchery, and Mindframe Connect.
Paradise Mobile launches in Bermuda, a full-stack open RAN network from scratch. The proof-of-concept for American Wireless Consortium, Anthony’s bid to offer trusted Western infrastructure across emerging markets.
The American Wireless Consortium starts expansion in other regions and Anthony's telecom playbook goes global with wireless, redefined with ownership and sovereignty at the core.
Still investing, but where he can operate, build, and shape the outcome. The thesis hasn’t changed, it’s just sharper: Back founders. Build ecosystems. Own what matters.
