|Kimberley Jessome a étudié le droit civil à l’Université d’Ottawa, ainsi que le droit constitutionnel international en Tunisie. Après deux stages dans le domaine légal gouvernemental, elle a commencé à travailler comme avocate auprès d’Environnement Canada en 2009, avant de rejoindre Travaux publiques, puis la Commission de la fonction publique en 2015. En tant qu’avocate, Kim a dû analyser des enjeux gouvernementaux complexes, fournir des avis juridiques sur des questions sensibles et maintenir des partenariats avec des groupes d’experts multidisciplinaires. Ces aptitudes lui ont permis, en 2017, de faire le saut hors du domaine juridique pour devenir directrice dans le domaine des enquêtes à la Commission, puis directrice générale en 2018. Aujourd’hui, Kim supervise la tenue de toutes les enquêtes relevant de la CFP, et est responsable de l’analyse des irrégularités suspectées en dotation à l’échelle de la fonction publique centrale. En plus de cet impressionnant portfolio, Kim est également championne du Réseau des leaders émergents, et la voix du Réseau auprès de la haute gestion.

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.
