President and Chief Executive Officer

Canada Post (www.canadapost.ca), with its three subsidiaries, Purolator, SCI and Innovapost, is the largest Crown corporation in Canada. Canada Post provides innovative physical and electronic delivery solutions and services valued by Canadians in all regions of the country, and in all walks of life.

Through a highly skilled and diversified workforce of more than 60,000 employees, Canada Post supports a vast network of customers at home and around the world. Canada Post and its subsidiaries are entrusted with more than 9 billion messages and parcels annually. Delivering to every address from coast to coast to coast, Canada Post has a unique and essential role in Canadian society.

While traditional letter mail volumes continue to decline, the shift by Canadians to purchasing goods online has resulted in a substantial increase in the volume of parcels shipped to Canadians. In recent years, Canada Post has successfully pivoted to become Canada’s #1 parcel delivery company, gaining a new strategic position in the marketplace.

As a valued enterprise that will serve Canada for decades to come, Canada Post must continue to be adaptable, enable ongoing innovations and provide good service to Canadians. The recently announced vision for renewal at Canada Post will put service to Canadians front and centre. The goal is to provide high-quality service delivery at a reasonable price to Canadians, no matter where they live.
