Innovation isn’t just about good ideas. It’s about running those ideas through a sophisticated process. That’s where Yuri shines. His strength is operationalizing innovation, taking useful ideas and turning them into standard, field-ready workflows. He builds the connective tissue (SOPs, training, governance, data handoffs) that makes tools usable by superintendents, PMs, and coordinators under project pressure. In his role as Innovation Director at Pomerleau, Yuri keeps teams aligned on priorities, removes blockers early, and helps deliver under pressure. Under Yuri’s direction, solutions that often stall as demos or one-off pilots became repeatable standards with documented SOPs and training content. Bilingual in field operations and digital products, Yuri can translate a superintendent’s constraints (access, sequencing, lift windows, inspections) into product-like requirements—problem definition, success metrics, pilot gates, training plans—and then back into site-usable checklists. And he does all this at one of Canada’s largest and most sophisticated general contractors.
