The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that the Major Projects Office is hiring senior staff, including a chief investment officer to oversee expanding infrastructure and resource projects, along with sector heads for energy and electricity. The Globe's Tim Kiladze writes that Kelsen Vallee, a former investment banker at CIBC World Markets, will be the MPO's CIO overseeing energy projects. He co-ran CIBC's energy, infrastructure and transition (EIT) unit. He is joined by Michelle Chislett, a renewable energy executive, who will lead the MPO's electricity portfolio. Ms. Chislett was most recently an executive vice-president at Northland Power, known for its growing renewable power portfolio. The Globe notes that her latest role at Northland Power gave her oversight of the company's onshore renewable energy projects. The MPO's Calgary-based office launched in August and is run by chief executive officer Dawn Farrell, who previously led TransAlta and the Trans Mountain pipeline system. Although the MPO is based in Calgary, the federal government has said it will add offices in other major Canadian cities. The MPO's mandate is to serve as a single point of contact to fast-track nation-building projects.
