Some exciting news...

I am delighted to share the news that effective September 5th, I will be joining FinDev Canada in the role of Vice President and Chief Strategy & Engagement Officer.?

This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to join Lori Kerr and her Executive team, helping to shape FinDev’s future and sharing our story with all our stakeholders.?By bringing together strategy, partnerships, external engagement, marketing & communications, and digital enablement, our team will play an important role in helping FinDev leverage its solutions to develop markets, empower women and mitigate climate change. ?FinDev makes a real difference in the world, and I am proud to have the opportunity to do my part to grow that impact.

I can’t share this news without also thanking Export Development Canada | Exportation et développement Canada for an absolutely amazing 21 years.?EDC opened up a whole world for me.?I’ve been fortunate enough to tackle some incredible issues, experience a wonderful and diverse career path, and work with countless incredible people.?Underlying all of that is the knowledge that at EDC everything you do is ultimately about furthering the success of Canadian companies and driving Canada’s trade.?EDC has a truly empowering mandate and I am grateful for my time there.?Of course, being a “why not have your cake and eat it too kind of person”, getting the chance to take on this new challenge while remaining part of the broader EDC family makes the move away from so many great colleagues easier.

Thanks Lori Kerr and FinDev Canada for this opportunity, and thanks Todd Winterhalt , Mairead Lavery and Export Development Canada | Exportation et développement Canada for continuing to support my development and career.
