Sarah Paquet attended the University of Ottawa, earning her Civil Law degree in 1993 and her Common Law degree in 2001. After becoming a member of the Barreau du Québec in 1994, she began her career practicing law with a firm in Gatineau, Québec, where she focused on civil, commercial, and family law.

Ms. Jody Thomas was appointed Deputy Minister of the Department of National Defence on October 23, 2017.

Ms. Paquet started her career in the federal public service with the Department of Justice (DoJ) in 1997. She held various positions within DoJ before becoming Executive Director and General Counsel for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Executive Director and Senior General Counsel for Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC).

Ms. Thomas then moved to the West Coast as the Business Manager of the Esquimalt Graving Dock in Victoria, British Columbia. From 1995-2010, she joined Passport Canada where she served as Manager of the Victoria Passport Office. This led to a number of senior roles within the Passport Office, culminating in Chief Operating Officer, where she managed service delivery at 35 locations involving 3,000 employees across Canada.

In August 2011, Ms. Paquet became Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) of PSPC’s Integrated Services Branch. She played a key role in supporting PSPC's firm commitment to strengthening client services by leading the Service Strategy, which helped ingrain service excellence across the department and guided the way by which services are delivered to clients.

Ms. Thomas currently holds a commission in the Navy (Naval Reserve). She also holds a Bachelor of Arts from Carleton University.

Ms. Paquet was also responsible for the implementation of major IT-enabled business solutions such as GCDOCS, My GCHR, Shared Case Management System and Shared Travel Services, across more than 100 government departments and agencies.

Madame Jody Thomas a été nommée sous-ministre du ministère de la Défense nationale le 23 octobre 2017.

In 2016-17, Ms. Paquet was the ADM responsible for the Procurement Modernization Initiative. In that capacity, she reported to the Treasury Board Secretariat and to PSPC. She successfully rallied support for the new Government of Canada (GC) vision for Procurement Modernization from industry, lead departments, and other government departments through a variety of collaborative consultations and engagement events.  

Mme Thomas a ensuite déménagé sur la côte ouest pour devenir gestionnaire administrative de la cale sèche d’Esquimalt à Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique. De 1995 à 2010, elle s'est jointe à Passeport Canada en tant que gestionnaire du bureau des passeports à Victoria, endroit où elle a occupé divers postes de direction pour ensuite devenir chef de l’exploitation et gérer la prestation des services dans 35 emplacements comptant 3 000 employés répartis partout au Canada.

 

En 2010, Mme Thomas s’est jointe à la Garde côtière canadienne (GCC) en tant que sous-commissaire des Opérations, poste qu’elle a occupé pendant quatre ans. À ce titre, elle a assuré le leadership et fourni une orientation fonctionnelle pour l’élaboration des cadres de politique opérationnels et stratégiques de la GCC, surveillé leur mise en œuvre et assuré la direction stratégique de la prestation économique des programmes de la GCC. En septembre 2014, Mme Thomas a été nommée conseillère spéciale auprès du secrétaire adjoint du Cabinet (Opérations) au Bureau du Conseil privé, poste qu’elle a occupé jusqu’à sa nomination en tant que commissaire de la Garde côtière le 1er janvier 2015. Le 13 mars 2017, elle s’est jointe au ministère de la Défense nationale à titre de sous-ministre déléguée principale.

Sarah Paquet is currently the Executive Vice-President (EVP) at Shared Services Canada (SSC). As EVP, she oversees the delivery of digital services across more than 100 government departments and agencies – including email, data centre and network services, cyber and IT security.  

Mme Thomas détient actuellement une commission dans la Marine (Réserve navale) et est titulaire d'un baccalauréat ès arts de l’Université Carleton.
