Commander Canadian Special Operations Forces Command

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

• Directed and oversaw the development and delivery of an important strategic document that provided an overview of the security environment, the threats posed to Canadian national security, and the role of CANSOF as a key contributor in the broader national defence and national security realms. The document, entitled “Beyond the Horizon: A Strategy for Canada’s Special Operations Forces in an Evolving Security Environment” and published in January of 2020, was the manifestation of significant collaboration with National Defence and inter-agency partners and continues to serve as an important reference for senior government officials in the synchronization of government national security efforts, including as a framework for collective training events. Reference: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/corporate/reports-publications/cansofcom-beyond-horizon.html• Oversaw the training and deployment of numerous teams on deliberately planned international missions to some of the most challenging security environments in the world.• Provided strategic advice to political leaders and directed the deployment of teams on short notice to deal with highly sensitive national security missions on numerous occasions. Advice provided was based on in-depth appreciation of national foreign policy objectives, relevant international and national laws, ally and host-nation requirements and intentions, as well as numerous other intelligence and geo-political factors.• Led a strategic-level inter-agency national security training iteration spanning 18 months, whose objective was to help identify new threats, refine standard operating procedures, and share lessons learned. The training contributed significantly to the federal government’s response to particularly complex and dangerous national security scenarios while also building government resilience and shoring up business continuity practices.
