Global Public Affairs (Global) is pleased to announce the addition of award-winning veteran political journalist and broadcaster Hannah Thibedeau as Executive Communications Officer at Global.  Hannah will support Global’s clients from coast-to-coast with their communications, media relations and public affairs needs.

With more than two decades of experience, Hannah is a veteran political reporter, broadcaster and producer with CBC News in Ottawa, having covered seven federal elections, four Prime Ministers and virtually every significant news story in Canada over the past 25 years.

“The Global team is thrilled to welcome someone of Hannah’s calibre and experience to contribute to our growing communications practice and to bring her significant political insights to our firm’s government relations efforts,” said Global Public Affairs CEO, Randy Pettipas.  “At Global, we focus our clients on ensuring their messages resonate with key audiences, including government stakeholders. Hannah’s deep experience will support our clients in all government and public-facing advocacy, communications and media campaigns.”

Hailing from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Hannah moved to Ottawa following her graduation of Dalhousie University in Halifax with a degree in Political Science.  At Algonquin College, she received a diploma in Television Broadcasting then launched her career in journalism that took her to CBC in 2009 as a local reporter and then as a producer for “Politics with Don Newman”, before moving to the network’s national bureau in 2012.

“As someone who has been at the centre of the Canadian political ecosystem and has both witnessed and covered major milestones and events that have defined Canada’s politics and media landscape, I am confident I can contribute significantly to the work of Global’s clients, while supporting the pursuit of new opportunities for growth and collaboration across the country,” said Hannah Thibedeau.

Global’s Strategic Communications practice has been supporting clients from coast-to-coast with their communications needs, from media relations programs, digital and social media campaigns, crisis communications and issues management, as well as media training and executive coaching.
