A former high-ranking official with Veterans Affairs Canada is taking over the top job at the country’s space agency.
On Friday, the federal government announced Lisa Campbell has been appointed as president of the Canadian Space Agency, taking over from Sylvain Laporte who has filled that role since 2015.
With the appointment, Campbell leaves her position as associate deputy minister of Veterans Affairs Canada.
She has lived in Charlottetown since 2018.
Prior to that job, Campbell was assistant deputy minister of defence and marine procurement where she led the organization that buys Canada’s military and marine equipment.
She was also appointed by the clerk of the Privy Council of Canada as UPEI’s deputy minister university champion.
Campbell previously worked at Canada’s competition authority as senior deputy commissioner where she reviewed mergers and business conduct.
The Canadian Space Agency is the federal agency responsible for managing all of Canada’s civil space-related activities.
Innovation, Science and Industry Minister Navdeep Bains said Campbell has the experience and abilities to move the space agency forward on future explorations.
“Her experience in defence procurement will hold her in good stead as she takes over some of the most important procurements for the space sector,” he said.
