Vice President, Policy and Public Affairs
As Vice President, Policy and Public Affairs, Hamish helps clients navigate Canada’s complex policy and regulatory environment to achieve pressing objectives. He provides strategic counsel to anticipate change, manage challenges, and influence policy outcomes that drive measurable impact.
Before joining Henley, Hamish served as Executive Director of Transportation and Labour Policy in the Office of the Premier of Ontario, where he led policy development and advanced key legislative and government priorities. He previously held senior roles at the Ministry of Transportation and the Treasury Board Secretariat, supporting decision-making and coordinating major cross-ministry initiatives.
With extensive experience across government and public affairs in multiple jurisdictions, Hamish has served federally in the Office of the Leader of the Official Opposition in Ottawa and internationally in Australia, where he worked in public affairs and legislative advisory roles across government and the private sector.
At Henley, Hamish is known for his strategic insight, collaborative approach, and ability to turn complex policy challenges into clear, actionable solutions that deliver results. Outside of work, he’s a devoted Toronto Blue Jays fan who appreciates the strategy behind every play—much like in government affairs.
Hamish holds a Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (with Distinction) from the Australian National University.
