Peter Oberle was a member of Canada’s Federal Public Service for 25 years. In that time, he served at the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Citizenship and Immigration, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and National Defence.

In various management and senior management positions, Peter’s tenure in the Public Service focused on strengthening management accountability, citizen service quality, integrating business and technology (Chief Information Officer, SSHRC & NSERC) and strategic business planning. His work has always been guided by his belief that having a strong democracy requires a world-class Public Service that exists to serve citizens. For his leadership at Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat on government-wide citizen service transformation, Peter received the Clerk of the Privy Council Award – the Public Service’s highest award.

Peter’s home province is British Columbia and he has left Ottawa to return home. From the West Coast, Peter now works as a management consultant. Recently, his engagements have been in the Yukon, again, focusing on strengthening management accountability. He has also spent significant time in Guatemala working to support those without adequate shelter.

Peter has a Bachelor’s Degree (Honors) in Psychology from Queen’s University and a Master’s Degree from York University.
