GUELPH – The Canadian Centre for Food Integrity’s board of directors is pleased to announce the hiring of John Jamieson as its new president and CEO.
With more than 25 years of senior leadership within Canada’s agri-food sector, Jamieson is well suited to lead CCFI as a well-respected leader with a passion for advancing public trust. Jamieson succeeds outgoing president Crystal Mackay, who provided valuable leadership as inaugural president.
