Lindsay Ferrier Appointed as King's Vice-President, People, Finance, and Information Services
King’s University College is pleased to announce the appointment of Lindsay Ferrier as Vice-President, People, Finance, and Information Services, effective November 23, 2026. The appointment was made by King’s Board of Directors upon the recommendation of President Dr. Robert Ventresca.
Ferrier brings more than 15 years of leadership experience across complex public-sector and private organizations. She currently serves as National Director, Employee and Labour Relations at Maple Leaf Foods. Previously, she held senior leadership positions with the London Police Service and Canada Post, with responsibilities spanning organizational strategy, labour relations, and leading change. She holds a Master of Business Administration and is a Chartered Human Resources Leader.
“Lindsay’s appointment comes at an important time for King’s. Our long-term sustainability depends not only on growing revenue and managing costs, but also on an institution built to flourish,” says Dr. Robert Ventresca, President of King’s University College. “Effective leadership, a healthy workplace culture, sound stewardship of resources, and modern, collaborative systems all contribute to our institutional capacity and, in turn, our ability to deliver on our academic mission.”
“This understanding of mission sustainability was central to our search. Lindsay brings the experience, judgment, financial acumen, and collaborative approach needed to help King’s navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities ahead.”
King’s commitment to human dignity, community, and the development of the whole person resonates strongly with Ferrier’s own approach to leadership and her desire to contribute to a person-centred, mission-focused institution.
In her new role, Ferrier will oversee Human Resources, Finance, Physical Plant, and Information Technology Services. As part of a wider executive realignment, she will bring a renewed focus on collaboration across these long-standing portfolios, embracing a whole-of-institution approach to advance King’s shared mission.
Ventresca extended his thanks to the members of the Search Advisory Committee for their thoughtful advice and commitment throughout the search process.
“I am confident Lindsay will be a strong addition to our leadership team,” says Ventresca.
King’s looks forward to welcoming Ferrier to the university community on November 23.
