Michelle DiEmanuele to Lead the Ontario Public Service
TORONTO — Premier Doug Ford has named Michelle DiEmanuele as Secretary of the Cabinet and Clerk of the Executive Council, effective June 20, 2021.
“I could not be more thrilled to have someone of Michelle’s talent, passion and experience take the top job of Ontario’s public service,” said Premier Ford. “With a long list of private and public sector accomplishments, she is exactly the right leader to help our government guide Ontario out of this pandemic as we jumpstart the province’s economy to create good jobs and strong communities.”
DiEmanuele has held senior leadership roles at several public and private organizations, most recently serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of Trillium Health Partners, one of the province’s largest health systems. Previously, she has served as an Associate Secretary of the Cabinet, a Deputy Minister in the Ontario government and as a senior executive at CIBC and Brookfield Properties.
DiEmanuele will succeed Steven Davidson, who has served in the role since February 1, 2019, during which time he was instrumental to Ontario’s pandemic response.
“Steven led Ontario’s public service during a time like no other,” said Premier Ford. “His time as secretary was one of change and challenge. I am extremely grateful for Steven’s leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. He has been an absolute champion and we will miss him greatly.”
