public relations and public affairs firm—is pleased to announce
Craig Rowsell as vice-president and group leader of procurement and
trade, effective immediately. A senior associate with H+K’s

“We’ve worked hard to build a strong and well-respected
procurement and trade practice, offering clients and colleagues
unsurpassed counsel and strategic insight in what can be an
extremely complex environment,” says Jackie King, senior

regional development programs to policy-issue management—with a
particular focus in procurement and industrial development.
Prior to joining H+K, Craig was the lead executive responsible
for the defence and aerospace sectors at the Atlantic Canada

provincial government and his guidance was instrumental in
establishing Atlantic Canada’s now-mature and dynamic regional
