Anne White is a public policy leader with over 20 years of experience spanning the private sector, government, and civil society in Canada, the US and the UK.

She has built policy and programs from inside governments — leading initiatives on digital platforms, climate, industrial policy, and social service delivery innovation. She thrives on developing solutions to cross-cutting policy challenges that bring stakeholders together and enable creative approaches to reaching desired goals, supported by agile governance approaches that are needed to get there. 

​

In 2024, she founded the Good Governance Project, a research and dialogue initiative focused on improving government and strengthening the wider public governance system in Canada. 

 

She is a 2025-2027 Fellow of the CSA Public Policy Centre.  From 2016 to 2024, Anne held senior positions in the federal government of Canada including Director of Special Projects, where she led cross-government policy initiatives and was the senior lead on results initiatives for the Prime Minister's top priorities. 

Her career began in telecom and marketing — at TELUS and Ogilvy & Mather — and in policy advocacy at the Toronto Board of Trade, where she served on the Executive Committee. She is a Quebec native, fluently bilingual, and maintains active relationships across policy ecosystems in Canada and internationally.
