Amar Singh

Resident Health + Housing Innovation Lead

Background

In this collaboration, Amar is leveraging the R-LABS industry innovation platform, its partner ecosystem and a focused, multi-disciplinary working group to translate system challenges into durable business models and scalable infrastructure solutions that look to address root causes, not symptoms. 

Amar brings experience at the intersection of healthcare, industrial and fiscal policy; multi-billion-dollar land development and infrastructure program design and delivery; sector wide digital transformation and an insatiable curiosity to tackle hard complex challenges through multi-disciplinary collaboration, first principles thinking and innovative commercial solutions. 

Prior to joining R-LABS, Amar was the Executive Vice President of Commercial Advisory and Stratrgy at Infrastructure Ontario – a practice designed for targeted commercial advice, complex deal-making and digital capabilities to aid government in tackling some of its most intractable public-policy challenges.

Areas of focus spanned province wide digital connectivity; construction sector productivity; complex service delivery modernization and innovative affordable housing policy, transaction design and execution. 

While born in Guyana, South America and proud member of the Indian Diaspora, he remains most connected to his Scarborough / North York roots. #ParkwoodsVillage
