ABOUT NICOLE MCDONALD
I navigate the intersection of economics, energy, environment, and intergovernmental affairs, leading teams that transform complexity into clarity. My work spans federal–provincial–territorial collaboration, multilateral engagement, and cross-cutting priorities — from weighing trade-offs in major energy and resource projects to advancing trade diversification, resilient supply chains, ESG, and climate-related policy.My career has taken me from the field as a wildlife biologist, to leading oil sands R&D, to developing multimillion-dollar energy and resource innovation and deployment programs, including methane reduction initiatives. Along the way, I’ve learned that systems are interconnected, evidence drives impact, and strategic foresight — anticipating where the puck is going — is critical to shaping durable outcomes.I’m drawn to the challenge of how jurisdictions collaborate to solve complex economic and policy problems, and how organizations integrate evidence across disciplines to make decisions that endure. I believe in pragmatic leadership, bridging differences, and crafting strategies that honor regional realities while advancing shared objectives.
