ABOUT CHARMAINE DE SILVA
In a constantly evolving world, I thrive while helping organizations tackle complex communications challenges. At Burson and Hill & Knowlton, I am trusted to support our clients’ public relations, earned media and issues management needs so they can succeed amidst modern pressures. I am also proud to lead our Canadian Earned Media practice. Prior to joining H&K and Burson, I spent almost two decades as a journalist and leader in some of Canada’s best newsrooms. As a reporter, my relentless pursuit of truth led to several ground-breaking investigations and garnered some of North America\'s most prestigious journalism awards. As a journalist and community advocate, I have worked to celebrate and champion Vancouver\'s diversity, promote inclusion, and advance 2SLGBTQ+ rights. For my contributions to journalism and the community, it was an honour to be named to VanMag\'s Power 50 list in 2023.
