|Kimberley Jessome has studied civil law at the University of Ottawa, as well as international constitutional law in Tunisia. After two government internships in legal services, she began working as a lawyer for Environment Canada in 2009, before joining Public Works, then the Public Service Commission in 2015. As a lawyer, Kim has had to analyze complex government challenges, to provide legal advice on sensitive topics, and to maintain partnerships with subject matter experts across disciplines. Those competencies have helped her make the switch from the legal field to become director of investigations at the Commission, then director general in 2018. Kim now oversees audit proceedings under the PSC’s authority, and is in charge of the analysis of suspected irregularities in staffing across the entire core public service. In addition to this impressive portfolio, Kim is also the champion of the Emerging Leaders Network, and the voice of the Network for upper management.
