Nature Conservancy of Canada announces change in leadership team
The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is announcing a key addition to its executive team. Brian Rosevear has been appointed vice president, public affairs and communications.
An award-winning communicator, Brian brings more than 25 years’ experience at some of Canada’s leading communications agencies to his new role. With a wide range of experience spanning private sector business, Brian’s work has been recognized by the Canadian Marketing Association, International Association of Business Communicators, Strategy Magazine and has also been shortlisted for a Cannes Lions Award.
“Brian will guide our external communications strategies and lead our team of professional communicators at an important time,” says Catherine Grenier, NCC president & CEO. “NCC is focused on doubling our impact so that nature can thrive. Brian’s appointment underscores that ambitious trajectory. We welcome his creativity as we collaborate coast to coast to coast to implement solutions that halt biodiversity loss and reduce the impacts of climate change.”
Before joining NCC, Brian was a senior vice-president at Edelman Canada, where he managed multi-stakeholder communication initiatives focused on brand building, ESG communications, public affairs, and trust and reputation. Brian also played a critical leadership role in Edelman Canada’s internal business transformation team, successfully implementing global initiatives in the Canadian market.
“The opportunity to work with such a forward-thinking and impactful organization was one I just couldn’t pass up,” says Brian. “I believe my experience working in the private sector is a perfect fit for this growing and dynamic organization as we strive to achieve our ambitious goals. It’s a great feeling to know that every day when I go to work, I am part of a team that is making a direct and meaningful impact on the natural world.“
In joining NCC, Brian assumes the responsibilities held for 15 years by Jane Gilbert. Earlier this year Jane announced her decision to step away from full-time work. NCC thanks Jane for her dedicated service and for her commitment to the organization, especially during this period of transition.
