Early life

Seeman was born in Toronto, Ontario. He graduated from the high-school Upper Canada College (1984-1988). Seeman has a BA in English and Political Science from Queen's University (1988-1992), and a JD from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law (1992-1995).^[2]^[3]^[4] Following his legal education, Seeman received a Masters in Public Health (MPH) from Harvard University (1997-1998).

Research career

At the end of the 1990s Seeman began working on the editorial staff of the American magazine the National Review. He also served as in-house counsel for the National Citizens' Coalition under the leadership of Stephen Harper, the former Prime Minister of Canada^[5]. Seeman was a Research Fellow at the Fraser Institute, and founding director of the Institute’s CANSTATS Project^[6]. Seeman was a founding member of the editorial board at the National Post (1998). He is a contributor to the Financial Post, the Globe and Mail, HuffPost, and VentureBeat^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]. In 2001 he became a member of the editorial board of the National Review Online. His free-market ideas on entrepreneurialism and innovation were criticized as “glib” and “odd theorizing” by the MaRS Discovery District.^[11]

Seeman has published in academic journals including Healthcare Quarterly, Health Care Management Review, Healthcare Policy, Journal of Participatory Medicine, Synapse, Nature, Journal of Affective Disorders, Canadian Medical Association Journal, and Journal of Psychiatric Practice.^[12]^[13]^[14] He is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto in the Institute for Health Policy, Management & Evaluation and at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health Policy and Senior Fellow at Massey College, University of Toronto, as well as an Adjunct Professor at Ryerson University. His research focuses on mental health awareness, global public health policy, youth mental health and Internet-enabled technologies.^[15]

In 2013, at the Open Government Partnership 2013, Seeman’s technology contributed to the largest perception survey ever conducted on the topic of open government. In October, 2014, he won in the individual category of the NGMR Disruptive Innovation Awards for “outspoken advocates for innovation and disruption”.^[16]

Business career

Seeman is the founder and CEO of RIWI Corp. (2009-), the founder and former Executive Director of the Canadian Statistical Assessment Service at The Fraser Institute (2001-2003), and the founder and former Executive Director of the Health Strategy Innovation Cell at Massey College (2007-2011)^[17]^[18]^[19]. Seeman invented random domain intercept technology (RDIT), which is an approach to capturing a global stream of respondents and data^[20]. Seeman’s technology is now used for different data collection purposes by banks, multilaterals and government agencies such as the US Department of State, the United Nations World Food Programme and the World Bank Group^[21]^[22]^[23]^[24].

Supporters claim that Seeman’s invention offers random opinion polling and global ad testing and may have some predictive properties^[25]^[26]. His critics state that RDIT is a convenience sampling technology that does not enable random probability samples.^[27]^[28]

Seeman served as legal counsel for the National Citizens Coalition while former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was the President of the NCC. In February 2018 Seeman became Senior Advisor to the Blackstone Law Group LLP.^[29]
