Business Wire
Effective this week, Marie Rajic joins Hill+Knowlton Strategies
Canada (H+K) as senior vice-president and general manager of its
Alberta offices. Based in Calgary, she will be responsible for team
mentorship and management, client service excellence and new
business development.
Most recently the director of sustainability and strategy with
TransCanada Corporation—where she led a multi-disciplined
department that worked with the company’s pipeline, power,
operations and major projects teams on stakeholder relations and
sustainability issues—Marie’s expertise complements H+K’s work in
the province.
“Marie’s impressive and diverse background in communications,
stakeholder relations, energy, sustainability issues as well as
team management make her the ideal candidate for this role.
Although she will be based in Alberta, Marie will also be available
to offer considerable expertise to meet clients’ needs across the
country,” says Goldy Hyder, president and CEO of H+K Canada. “In a
challenging economic environment that’s still taking new shape,
it’s experienced leadership like Marie’s that will help our clients
persist and achieve clear, measurable goals.”
Prior to TransCanada, Marie worked for the federal government as
the executive director of regional affairs in Alberta. In that
position, she was the senior government spokesperson and oversaw
the co-ordination of policies, programs and communications for
Alberta and the northern territories.
Marie serves on a number of boards—including MITACS, Canada 2017
and on UrbanStar Capital’s Advisory Board—and was recognized as one
of Calgary’s Top 40 under 40; she is also a Queen’s Jubilee Medal
recipient. Marie has a bachelor of arts in political science from
the University of Calgary, as well as both a masters of arts and
masters of public administration from the University of
Manitoba.
