The Canadian Communication Systems Alliance, which represents 100 independent communications companies, announced Wednesday that consultant John Roman is the organization’s new director of legal and regulatory affairs.
“With more than 14 years of dedicated experience in policy, regulation, and consulting within the broadcasting and telecommunications sectors, Roman’s extensive track record of crafting regulatory submissions, supporting Governor in Council (GIC) requests, and creating and delivering presentations for appearances at CRTC and Senate Committee hearings underscores his invaluable expertise in understanding and achieving results in the regulatory field,” a CCSA press release said.
“His involvement with licensing, mergers, pricing models, and service frameworks demonstrates his deep understanding of the regulatory complexities facing the industry,” it added. “Additionally, Roman’s experience as an intervener and applicant in numerous regulatory and governmental hearings since 2014 brings firsthand insights and advocacy skills that will directly benefit the CCSA Membership.”
Roman was founder and principal of JPR Consulting, which provided client counsel and support in regulatory proceedings, industry and policy direction and development, the release said.
He was previously director of research and contracts for the Canadian Broadcasting Museum Foundation; senior policy analyst for Kealy Wilkinson Enterprises; and started his career as a trader on the NYSE with Swift Trade, the release added.
“I’m excited to embark on this journey with the CCSA,” Roman said in the release. “I am truly passionate about our broadcasting and telecommunications sectors. I’m driven by the desire to make a positive impact, and eager for this opportunity to contribute to members’ success.”
