OTTAWA – The CRTC has promoted Claude Doucet to Secretary General.
Doucet (pictured), formerly executive director of communications and external relations at the Commission, took on the role on an acting basis in September after Danielle May-Cuconato left for a position at Public Works Canada. Executive director broadcasting Scott Hutton and executive director telecom Chris Seidl also filled in while a permanent replacement was being sought.
In a note to staff on Thursday, CRTC chair and CEO Ian Scott said that the recruitment process attracted a number of highly qualified internal and external candidates.
“As a seasoned senior executive in the federal government, with a Chartered Professional Accountant’s designation, Claude brings over 20 years of relevant experience to the position”, reads Scott’s note. “I am pleased that the CRTC will continue to benefit from his wealth of knowledge and collegial management style in his new capacity.”
Doucet will assume his new role in January 2018.
