ABOUT KATHRYN WATSON
With over 20 years of government experience, I bring a proven ability to lead strategic policy initiatives, build high-performing teams, and navigate complex legislative frameworks. At the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, I lead policy development for privacy, cybersecurity, access, and service delivery while overseeing six key statutes. My work includes shaping enterprise-wide strategies, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation in public service delivery. Known for creating inclusive, psychologically safe environments, I excel at empowering teams and aligning diverse stakeholders to achieve shared goals. My leadership philosophy integrates mentorship and strategic vision, demonstrated by building a new branch and leading multiple cross-ministry policy initiatives. I am motivated by the opportunity to deliver impactful solutions in challenging, high-profile environments.
