CEO Update

Closing in on seven years as President and CEO of E-Comm, I will be retiring at the end of August.

My admiration for the work of British Columbia’s police, fire and ambulance leadership and frontline personnel is second to none and it has been a privilege to be a part of public safety since joining E-Comm in November 2010. Naturally, I have a special fondness and appreciation for the people who work behind the scenes—9-1-1 call-takers, dispatchers, technology specialists and the many other support personnel who keep E-Comm and all public safety organizations running. I am extremely proud of the contribution of our staff in helping to save lives and protect property in communities across the province; they are among the most dedicated people I have ever worked with. Our goal always has been, and always will be, to provide high-quality service and technology that serves the best interest of public safety and contributes to safer communities.

David Guscott,
E-Comm President and CEO

Our Board of Directors has created a vision for E-Comm and provided excellent strategic direction for us through our strategic plan, Vision2020. I know our Board remains dedicated to advancing key strategic initiatives while creating value for our shareholders and partners. A national search for my successor is underway, led by Board Chair Doug Campbell. I will be here until August 31 to ensure a smooth transition. In the meantime, we continue to press forward with our many initiatives and to answer more than 100,000 emergency calls each month and to maintain our high-performing technology.

I would like to thank the Board, the E-Comm User Committee, my executive team and our staff for their support and commitment to our collective success.
