Chair: Tara Parker, Partner, Goodmans LLP
Under "Education", his LinkedIn profile lists only the school of "Hard Knocks". He's been the executive director of Telefilm Canada, chair of the Canadian Television Fund (now the Canada Media Fund), CEO of Star Choice, president of the Canadian Cable Television Association and Assistant Deputy Minister for Culture and Broadcasting. Perhaps most controversially (and entertainingly) he spent six years as Executive Vice-President at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, in charge of the CBC's television, radio and online English-language services. His new book bears the following description:
