We are thrilled to welcome her to this new role.”

Her new mandate will be to continue to grow Venor’s presence throughout Atlantic Canada, while executing on Venor’s growth strategy over the next 3- 5 years.
“I’m excited to be part of such a talented team of integrated human resources, recruitment and consulting professionals, and to help take us to our next phase of growth,” said Beverley. “The culture and values of Venor are very much in line with mine, and I knew it was something special and innovative that I wanted to be a part of.”
