Jennifer Smith (Vice Chair)

I am excited about the opportunity to be part of Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) Board of Directors and believe that I have the relevant skills and experience to contribute in a meaningful way to the organization. I have had the privilege to work in the Electrical Distribution Industry for over 25 years with 17 years at the senior executive level and am currently employed with Burlington Enterprises Corporation (Burlington Hydro Inc.) as EVP, Corporate and CPO. I also have approximately 10 years of Board/Governance experience and specifically with Burlington Chamber of Commerce as Board Chair, which I am confident will also add value to the Board.

My leadership, strategic focused communication style and expertise span key areas of a Business such as Strategy, Governance, IT, Human Resources, Stakeholder Relations, Health and Safety and Corporate Communications. My brand and reputation are based on the principles of demonstrating sound judgment, collaboration and operating at the highest level of integrity.
