Biographie

Ms. Sharpe began her career in one of Canada's pioneering mapping and surveying companies, which was acquired by MacDonald Dettwiler. There she held a position as Ottawa Manager of the Mapping and Orthophoto Divisions. With public service as a key ambition, Ms. Sharpe moved on to Public Works and Government Services Canada as a Geomatics Project Manager, and the head of the development of a geomatics service delivery program for the department. She continued to take on leadership positions in Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, where she spent 12 years working in environment, science and technology policy and program delivery; during this time she also led a number of strategic planning initiatives at senior levels in the department. She joined Natural Resources Canada 3 years ago, returning to her roots in geomatics and now leading the Federal Geospatial Platform. In this role, she leads a multi-disciplinary team in the delivery of an on-line geospatial data sharing organization which brings together the Government's valuable geospatial data assets through partnership, polices, and standards. Ms. Sharpe has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Guelph, with specialization in geographic information and resource management.
