After a comprehensive search across North America, the Board found the very best talent for this position right here in Calgary. Dr. Moser will begin her new role on April 8, 2019.
Mary Anne brings more than 25 years of experience in entrepreneurial roles where science meets society.

We look forward to her leadership in building strong and lasting strategic partnerships and to bringing our science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) culture to the next level.”
“The Board thanks Barry Crean, Interim President and CEO, for his strong and committed leadership during the CEO search,” says Leggett. “He has financially stabilized the organization in under a year, and has positioned the organization for an exciting future. Barry will continue to serve TELUS Spark in the role of Chief Operating Officer. We look forward to his ongoing leadership.”
