A systems thinker, able to align people, processes, and infrastructure to deliver measurable outcomes
A community connector and relationship-builder—someone who, alongside the Medical Officer of Health, serves as a visible and trusted face of GEPH
A leader with the ability to cultivate strategic partnerships with municipal leaders and Councils, Indigenous communities, regional health partners, and government agencies
A collaborative team-builder who fosters trust, transparency, and inclusion at every level
A politically astute communicator who can inspire confidence among staff, partners, and leaders across government and the broader community
A resilient and values-driven change leader, comfortable navigating ambiguity and complexity with clarity, empathy, and integrity
