Peter Drucker says leadership is about results. I completely agree.

Results drive prosperity for our city, which in turn drives a higher quality of life for all Calgarians. By working in co-operation with my Council and Administration colleagues, collaborating with provincial and federal government and other key stakeholders, and by taking a keen interest in Calgary as our home, I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished in just three short years serving our great city as Alderman, Ward 6.

Business Background a Strong Foundation

The City of Calgary employs over 14,000 staff to serve more than 1 million customers – the single largest organization in Calgary. Running an organization this size demands a strong business education and experience where results are essential, co-operation between elected officials and administration critical, and efficiencies and effectiveness demanded.

Calgary has afforded me many significant opportunities – now I want to work hard on behalf of all Calgarians as your Mayor. My education, business and municipal government experience includes:

• Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Calgary
• Alderman, Ward 6, City of Calgary
• President and CEO of small to medium sized enterprises
• Vice President in the not-for-profit sector with Tourism Calgary.
• Senior management positions in blue-chip organizations such as TELUS
• Successful entrepreneur
