An independent director of Trevali since 2017, Jessica McDonald has extensive leadership experience including roles as both a board chair and chief executive officer at large and complex organizations.
“Trevali is setting a foundation for strong and steady performance and it is a privilege to serve as chair as we pursue the opportunities we see ahead. Over the last year we have significantly strengthened our corporate and operational teams, and they are actively implementing cost and operational optimization initiatives aimed at enhancing the value of our diversified asset base,” said Jessica McDonald.
“We have clear visibility into our opportunities, and the Board is focused on responsible capital allocation and enhancing value for shareholders. With a strong balance sheet, an active exploration portfolio and available organic growth opportunities, we are very enthusiastic about the future of our company,” added McDonald.

She has a track record of success leading organizations with diverse operational and business units. In December 2017 she was appointed chair of the board of the Canada Post Group of Companies, which includes a majority shareholding of Purolator Courier, and subsidiaries Innovapost and SCI Logistics. She assumed the additional role of interim chief executive officer of Canada Post from March 2018 to March 2019 in order to steward the organization as it confronted a number of organizational, financial and strategic challenges.

In addition to her role as chair of Canada Post, McDonald is a director of Coeur Mining, Hydro One, and the Board of Trade of Greater Vancouver.

She is certified by the Institute of Corporate Directors.
A priority focus of Trevali’s board is to finalize the selection of a new CEO.
