Background

About Stephen Penney

As a Chartered Professional Accountant with over two decades of experience in a leadership role with a publicly traded high growth company. I currently lead financial planning & Investment Governance at Énergie NB Power. I am a hands on dynamic, adaptable leader who builds trust amongst the organization to achieve company objectives. Our team drives budgeting, forecasting, and process optimization to support strategic decision-making across the organization. By fostering cross-functional collaboration, we enable data-driven decisions that align with business goals. I am also comfortable operating in flexible, remote, or evolving environments. Previously, at Plaza REIT, I advanced to Executive Vice President, managing critical functions such as HR, IT, insurance, taxation and cybersecurity. My expertise spans team leadership, financial reporting, data analysis, operational efficiency, and cross-functional problem-solving. I am passionate about leading and empowering teams and delivering impactful financial strategies in dynamic environments.
