With over 30 years of experience working for the Government of Canada in science and policy research and management, I specialize in optimizing the federal government's scientific ecosystem through strategic organizational design. I have experience with designing new organizational structures for improved alignment with clients, reducing red tape, and improving efficiency. I have designed new science programs and funding solutions and conducted in-depth reviews to improve ongoing programs. As the leading expert in all aspects of the federal research scientist career progression process, from application through recourse review, I have led a major interdepartmental comparison of Framework implementation across government, and have sat on career progression committees in multiple federal organizations.
