|Catherine is the new Director of the Policy Community, bringing energy and passion for policy interventions towards inclusive design, strategic alignment, and user-centered evidence sense-making. Catherine is a caring provocateur and crafty organizational designer deliberately engineering pivot moments to surface unarticulated needs for tangible impact. She holds an MPA from Carleton University, is a certified organizational development professional from the NTL Institute of Behavioural Sciences, a certified ACM Integral Canada Coach, and experienced bilingual facilitator.
Prior to joining the Policy Community, Catherine was the Head of Design at the ESDC Innovation Lab for 3 of 4 years. There, she formalized an internal consultancy practice leading a portfolio of projects and multiple horizontal teams across a range of policy innovation projects (e.g. applied design thinking approaches to Medium Term Planning, program operations, service policy, evaluation, executive strategic retreats, and regulation).
She also applied a social innovation mindset to F-PT relations and seniors policy leading an F-PT working group and F-PT Ministers’ agenda planning. At Health Canada, Catherine worked to integrate human resources management issues to corporate planning and reporting. Her passion lies in bringing edges to the core with grassroots empowerment, rebuilding organizations and restructuring them from the ground-up mixing human-centered design strategies, coaching techniques and change management principles.
