About Edward Oconnor

University of Ottawa graduate, double majoring with Joint Honours in Political Science and Communications. I am a versatile, creative, and driven business professional with a diverse range of experience in agriculture, public policy, content and research analysis, project management, marketing and communications. An approachable and engaging individual who leads and collaborates with an open and relationship-based style, while having a strong independent working presence. Demonstrating a proven ability to work across a unique range of fields, as well as within cross-functional teams with strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills that are grounded in genuine respect, eagerness and inclusiveness. Having worked on my family farm, with RBC, Holstein Canada and Willows Agriservices, I have strengthened my business acumen, enhancing and acquiring skills and expertise in sales, customer service, fundraising, project management, business analysis, content design and innovation, and corporate communications. I garner experience in helping companies better communicate with their audiences to protect and build their brand and reputation, while providing strategic counsel on communications and public relations through navigating the sphere of social media and interpersonal communications. A team player that quickly grasps complex subject matter and an understanding of who it matters to and why.
