I think CJ ticks most of these boxes:
"Significant experience in dealing with a large unionised workforce" - every time she interacts with GO's staff
"Ability to work effectively with the media and adept at delivering concise, open and effective messaging" - this blog.
@TomW: I second the motion. All those in favour, say "Aye".
I highly doubt I'd be viable candidate! But I'm flattered.
@CJ: That's what Gary thought when he started at GO Transit. Senior management urged him to apply for the position 14 years ago; he did, and the rest is history.
Er, sure, but I didn't go to CEO school. What's his background or how do I find out?
Just pick up the phone and call him -- that's what CEO's do. His number is listed here: http://www.metrolinx.com/en/aboutus/staffdirectory/staff_directory.aspx
You know what? I think I will.
Oh CJ....that would be so awesome!
