Topic: Reflecting on 15 years as Mayor



Jim Watson was elected Mayor of the City of Ottawa on October 25, 2010 and re-elected in 2014 and 2018. Mayor Watson has devoted most of his career to public service in Canada’s Capital. Elected as a City Councillor for the first time in 1991, he was re-elected in 1994. Three years later, he was elected Mayor - becoming the youngest Mayor in the history of Ottawa and receiving 82% of the popular vote.

 
Following the amalgamation of Ottawa and surrounding communities, Mr. Watson served as President & CEO of the Canadian Tourism Commission, a Federal Crown corporation. In 2003, he was elected MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and re-elected in 2007.
 

A committed member of his community, Mayor Watson has also served as a regular member or honorary President of several community organizations. On March 20, 2021, Mayor Watson surpassed Stanley Lewis as the longest-serving Mayor in the history of the City of Ottawa.

As CFO for TELUS International, I’m thrilled to be part of such a growing and dynamic company on the leading edge of customer experience and digital innovation.

Joining TELUS International in 2020, I was attracted to the company’s commitment to putting customers first while investing in the global communities where we live, work and serve. TELUS International’s caring culture is truly inspirational.

Prior to TELUS International, I held progressive roles over a 16-year period at Mitel, eventually becoming CFO where I was responsible for Mitel’s global finance operations, including accounting, treasury, taxation, planning and analysis, and reporting. Before that, I was with PwC’s assurance and business advisory practice.

As sources of pride, I was a finalist for the Ottawa Businesswoman of the Year Award in February 2020 and in June 2017, I was awarded a Top 40 under 40 Business Award by the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and the Ottawa Business Journal.

I live in Ottawa, Ontario with my husband and two children. I am active in my local community, volunteering my time with organizations such as the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and I also currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

I look forward to continuing to support TELUS International’s strong financial foundation and driving profitability that will always put our team members, customers and communities first.
