|Stéphanie Drouin
|Executive Director for CARM Change Enablement
|CBSA
|I have had the privilege of being with the Government of Canada for 22 years, and have worked for multiple departments including Environment (and Climate Change) Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Public Services and procurement Canada, the former Canada Revenue Agency, and Shared Services Canada. I have had career opportunities that had me in various classifications throughout my career – Administrative Services, Purchasing and Supply, Physical Science Group, Director General, including the privilege of being a Strategic Advisor to a Senior Associate Assistant Deputy Minister.
My first role at Canada Border Services Agency since joining in 2019 was to shepherd the Functional Management Model Implementation Project to completion in 2021 as the Director General of Functional Management Model Implementation Support under the Chief Transformation Officer Branch. I really enjoyed the opportunities and challenges of Transformation related work, it was all new to me!
I am now leading Stakeholder engagement and change enablement (training, innovation, program authorities) for the largest IT enabled project in the history of the Government of Canada – CARM, where we are modernizing the collection of duties and taxes from importers at the border.
My education is a Bachelor of Science (Biology) from Dalhousie University, and an Master of Science from the University of Manchester United Kingdom. I studied bugs and how to use them as standard indicators to determine river water quality across the European Union.
I enjoy travelling with my husband (especially when he is the pilot), environmental conservation and entomology. Supporting Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research and care is a cause close to my heart.
My family is here in Ottawa and I became an Aunt during COVID (It’s a girl!). I look forward to meeting new people and working collaboratively to advance talent in the Government of Canada.
