The new Executive Director of the Oakville and Milton Humane Society (OMHS), Jeff has been praised by colleagues throughout his career as a skilled communicator and collaborative co-worker with the ability to positively engage a wide range of stakeholders. Jeff started the role in January 2023.
Before joining OMHS, Jeff was Vice President, External Relations at Sheridan College and CEO of United Way Halton & Hamilton. Prior to that, Jeff spent 17 years at Hamilton Health Sciences, where he rose from an entry position as a public relations generalist to become the Vice President Communications, Stakeholder Relations and Corporate Services. OMHS believes Jeff is the right person to lead them into the future as they work toward a long-standing dream of building a brand-new facility. The project will benefit from his strong leadership and operational abilities, creative problem solving, and diplomatic skills. Jeff’s education includes a B.A. from McMaster in political science, an MBA from Queen’s, a Post-Graduate Diploma in public relations from Niagara College, and a diploma in commercial photography from Sheridan. Jeff has always acknowledged that his life and family does not feel full without a pet in the house. Today, he feels even more “full” applying his contributions towards the welfare of animals.
