Christine Healy, Commercial Advisor with the
Department of Natural Resources, is being recognized as one of Canada's
Top 40 Under 40® for 2009. The national program celebrates the
achievements of 40 Canadians in the private, public and not-for-profit
sectors from coast to coast.
"Christine's accomplishments speak for themselves and
are worthy of recognition," said the Honourable Kathy Dunderdale,
Minister of Natural Resources. "This national recognition of the skill
and passion Christine brings to her work demonstrates the talent we have
in the public service. Along with her commitment to her career, she has
mastered the ability to achieve that critical balance between work and
home that helps ensure her continued professional and personal success."
In her role as commercial advisor, Ms. Healy was
co-lead of the negotiating teams for the Hibernia Southern Extension,
Hebron and the White Rose formal agreements. These agreements represent
ground-breaking historical developments for the province in terms of
equity ownership in offshore projects and enhanced super royalty rates.
This year's Canada's Top 40 Under 40® included a
second recipient from Newfoundland and Labrador — Jamie King, President
and Chief Executive Officer with Verafin Incorporated.
Canada's Top 40 Under 40® promotes mentorship and
professional development by introducing these leaders to the business
community and promoting them as role models for young Canadians.
Recipients are chosen based on five major criteria, including vision and
leadership, innovation and achievement and community involvement. An
independent advisory board of industry and community leaders from across
Canada selects the Top 40 individuals.
