ABOUT DARRYL KONYNENBELT

As a seasoned communications strategist with more than three decades of experience, I specialize in strategic storytelling, executive thought leadership, and media relations in financial services, energy, real estate and crisis communications. Throughout my career, I have advised C-suite leaders at globally recognized organizations—including CPP Investments, Navigator Ltd, World Vision, OLG, Canada Life, and Edward Jones—helping them craft high-impact communication strategies that drive influence and reputation. My background as an award-winning broadcast journalist with CTV and Global National has honed my ability to distill complex issues into compelling narratives. Today, I leverage that expertise to navigate corporate reputation management, public affairs, and crisis communications in the charitable, finance, gaming, private equity, and investment sectors. Beyond my professional work, I am passionate about education, civic engagement, and emerging technologies. As a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and an advocate for STEM education with Space Place Canada, I believe in using communication to drive meaningful societal impact. I am also expanding my fluency in artificial intelligence, recognizing its growing role in shaping the future of communications and strategy. Let’s connect and explore opportunities to collaborate.
