"I am delighted that Lucie and Stephen have joined OMD's Board of Directors," said Dr. Gregory Athaide, Chair of the OMD Board, "they bring their impressive credentials, governance experience, and proven track records in growing businesses to OMD at an exciting time for the company."
Lucie Laplante is a CPA, CGA and has many years of experience at the CFO level in large telecommunications and data-driven organizations. She has significant governance experience and has served as Audit Committee Chair. One of her most recent experiences on a Board was as a Director for CANARIE, a federally funded organization whose purpose is to design, and drive the adoption of digital infrastructure for Canada's research and education communities. In this role, she served as Chair of the Audit and Investment Committee. Lucie is a digitally savvy financial executive, is fluently bilingual and has led many initiatives around building diversity at the governance level.
Stephen Goldsmith brings a wealth of business development and growth experience, both in the health care sector and in other sectors. His years of progressive experience leading the business development function at Sinai Health demonstrate his ability to assess business opportunities, engage business and clinical partners, and lead the implementation of business development plans. He understands the importance of engaging private and public sector stakeholders. He has held other Board governance roles that position him to be a strong contributor on the OMD Board.
Lucie and Stephen join two other Board members recently appointed by OMD's parent, the Ontario Medical Association – Dr. Zainab Abdurrahman and Dr. Cynthia Walsh. OMD looks forward to the expertise and guidance the four new Board members will provide.
