Donna Drummond

Prior to joining Ray & Berndtson Donna enjoyed a successful career in human resources management within the financial and high technology sectors. Her management experience has been substantially augmented through consulting roles in the health and association business fields and in the practice of outplacement with a national transitional consulting organization. Her broad experience includes the management of all HR disciplines at a senior management level. Her open communication and participative management style, strong interpersonal skills and leadership in the areas of employee relations and performance management, combined to provide Donna with an abundant background for a wide array of executive search assignments.

Donna is a graduate of the Advanced Business Management program, University of Toronto. She has also achieved a Certificate in Personnel Management (CPM) and holds a related Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP) designation. Donna is an accredited member of the International Outplacement Institute, with a representative case study selected for inclusion in Volume 1 of the "Excellence in Outplacement practice" compilation distributed to members. An active volunteer, she is a past Vice-Chair of the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Ottawa and past Board Member on the Executive, Governance, Accreditation, Medical Advisory and Corporate Planning Committees.

Her Executive Search experience was utilized by QCH in the facilitation of the Board's determination and confirmation of the former CEO. Donna was also a QCH Board Member of the Valley Alliance (four rural community hospitals, QCH as the regional hub) that was viewed by all institutions as a key initiative throughout the Ontario Health Services Restructuring planning and communication processes. Donna has also supported the Ottawa Human Resources community through Director positions with the Ottawa Personnel Association.
