Announcement: New Director, Communications and Integrated Marketing

The Ottawa Board of Trade is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephanie Naday as our new Director, Communications and Integrated Marketing.

Stephanie brings more than a decade of experience in corporate communications, public relations, issues management and creative branding to her role, with a focus on membership organizations.

Most recently, as Director of Communications at the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, she led the development of the organization's integrated strategic communications plan and stakeholder outreach strategy. Prior to that, she served as Communications Manager for the RCMP's first union, the National Police Federation, where she developed annual communications plans and public relations campaigns to further the NPF's mandate with 20,000 RCMP members, governments, media, and the public.

Previously, she held senior communications roles with the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada in Ottawa and with the Anantara hospitality group abroad in Asia. As a proud resident of Lowertown, Stephanie is especially passionate about Ottawa’s long term growth potential, business competitiveness, thriving restaurant scene, arts community, and ecosystem of parks and waterways that her dog Pepper loves.

In her new role, Stephanie will lead OBOT's communications and marketing efforts, with a particular focus on amplifying events, strategic partnerships, and advocacy initiatives through public awareness campaigns, driving a content marketing strategy, overseeing media relations, and optimizing OBOT's digital presence.

We are confident that Stephanie's expertise, drive and vision will further strengthen the Ottawa Board of Trade’s role as the voice of business in the National Capital Region. Please join us in welcoming Stephanie to our team.
