A not-for-profit society established in 2007, our founders are Patrick O’Callaghan and

Women On Board’s flagship WomenOnBoard Mentoring Program gives senior executive

pool of potential director candidates, to facilitate the appointment of Women On Board
mentees to Canadian corporate boards, and to reinforce the commitment of leading
Canadian companies to having more women on boards.

activités; la mise sur pied de l’Université Suncor,
qui vise à former les leaders de demain et à trouver
des moyens d’intégrer culturellement les dirigeants

Biography
Over 25 years consulted to hundreds of companies
in Canada and US on executive compensation.
Assisted companies with attraction and retention
challenges relating to periods of intense
competition due to robust economic growth,
with challenges relating to prolonged and intense
economic downturns, and with challenges faced in
normal circumstances.

Practice
• Principal
Assisted 2 large energy companies through merger
integration – to select the best of each, and in some
cases entirely new aspects, of their compensation
philosophy and programs, in order to retain talent
and reinforce the new organization’s business
strategy.
Worked with a large energy company as it split
itself into 2 – helping to determine when “clone and
go” was efficient, and when different policies were
needed to align with their new business strategy.
Issues also included appropriate levels of director
compensation.
Helped Board of a pre-production mining
company to change its compensation philosophy
and increase its governance over executive
compensation as it entered production and needed
to address greater shareholder scrutiny, and
reduced levels of acceptable dilution.
Throughout career have managed and grown
consultancies in the US and Canada, to be marketleading, well respected, and profitable; providing
clients with sound advice and the professionals
with rewarding careers. Successfully achieved two
turnarounds where new leadership needed to be
developed and financial performance significantly
improved.
As a corporate and commercial lender (portfolio
of large and medium-sized businesses) at Bank of
Montreal, helped grow market share, while learning
banking fundamentals and interest rates reached
20% and a severe recession followed.

Career Highlights
As Executive Vice President, Network Development
at Shoppers Drug Mart (SDM), developed national
real estate strategy to deliver on long term
aggressive growth and provided Real Estate
department with road map to deliver on growth
targets.
While VP, Operations, BC Division for Shoppers,
orchestrated financial turnaround of Region and
within 2 years strategically changed operations. Led
team to exceed profitability goals for 5 consecutive
years and rank #1 across Canada in metrics such as
market share growth and productivity. Increased
store count by 40% (30 new franchised stores)
within 3 years, with acquisitions of available
pharmacy businesses and new store construction.
Doubled industry standard for prescription market
growth rate by working with franchise owners,
focusing their efforts on optimizing customer
service-related standards. Managed difficult
transition through company sale/acquisition;
achieved downsizing targets in developing an IPO.
Ramped up real estate program during 5-year
period with compounding growth of 10% until
2010 and, following that, delivering on 3-4%
growth per year. This involved building and
opening over 1 million selling square feet per year,
restructuring and downsizing group while still
delivering on growth targets, defining new process,
adding new facilitating position, improving
intra-departmental communication and timing,
and driving solutions with incentives. Now the
company is positioned to satisfy corporate growth
requirements until 2016.
Doing the above turned around the capital plan so
that sales generated by store openings delivered
significantly more sales than planned. Evened
out capital activity through the quarters, which
positioned SDM to capitalize on maximizing sales
opportunity and completely focus on operations
for the 4th quarter.
Developed a land bank program within SDM in
2007 which allowed company to pick ideal timing
for store openings, to build the stores and reap the
substantial financial benefits on disposition based

En qualité de vice-présidente à la direction,
Développement commercial, pour Shoppers

nationale en immobilier visant à réaliser une
croissance robuste à long terme et elle a établi un
plan d’action pour atteindre les cibles de croissance

coûts de gestion des baux comme la réduction
des charges locatives, la renégociation des baux
et la réalisation d’audits de maintenance des
aires communes, ainsi que la cession de biens
immobiliers. Elle a aussi travaillé avec un groupe
de crédit-bail et avec des propriétaires pour mettre
sur pied des cliniques médicales et mener à bien
des activités d’investissement qui ont produit 45-50
cliniques par année.
Sur une période de cinq ans, elle a amélioré le
programme immobilier qui a atteint un taux
de croissance composé de 10 % jusqu’en 2010
et un taux de croissance annuel de 3-4 % par la
suite. Cette initiative a nécessité la construction
et l’ouverture de surfaces de vente de plus d’un
million de pieds carrés par année, la restructuration
et la rationnalisation du groupe, tout en
poursuivant les cibles de croissance. Il a fallu définir
de nouveaux processus, ajouter un nouveau poste
de facilitateur, améliorer la communication à
l’intérieur du service et les échéanciers, et élaborer
des solutions incitatives. À présent, la société est en
mesure de satisfaire aux besoins de l’entreprise en
matière de croissance jusqu’en 2016.
Ces initiatives ont donné lieu à une transformation
du plan d’immobilisations de manière telle que les
ouvertures de magasins ont produit des ventes
beaucoup plus élevées que prévu. Elle a équilibré
les activités d’investissement en immobilisations
au cours des trimestres, ce qui a placé SDM en
position de maximiser les occasions de vente et de
se consacrer entièrement à l’exploitation pendant le
quatrième trimestre.
En 2007, elle a conçu un programme de réserve
foncière au sein de SDM qui a permis à la société de
choisir le moment idéal pour ouvrir de nouveaux
magasins, de construire les magasins et de récolter
des profits substantiels au moment de la cession,
d’après la valeur de notre entente. Mme Paananen

Biography
At Bell Canada as Executive Vice President, Field
Operations for this 10,000+ person organization,
successfully led a major transformation of the
service culture and the cost structure. While the
transformation continues, change is palpable –

In 2005 to 2006, the delivery of service to midmarket customers from a call centre based,
single product operation was transformed to
a consultative, accountable and more skilled
environment. Created “franchises” within the
organization that aligned sales and service
specialists and focussed them on a common goal
– selling more and servicing better. This was very
successful with customer satisfaction lifting 10 to
20 points amid productivity gains between 20 and
25%.
In 1999, left management consulting to join
the “.com” boom, accepting a role as General
Manager of Canadian Operations for Internet
Pictures Corporation (IPIX), a young company that
produced “virtual tours” for the real estate business.
Successfully managed the exponential growth of
the operation while watching this home virtual tour
product migrate from something new and original
to something that has come to be expected on any
online real estate residential listing.
