Welcome Dr. Ken Camm to the Corporate Relations Team!

Please join me in welcoming our new Senior Director of Corporate Relations, Dr. Ken Camm. Ken’s most recent role was as Global Technical Account Director at Johnson Matthey, a global sustainable technologies company, where he worked for 14 years in the UK and the US.

Ken received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Leeds in the UK, and subsequently carried out Postdoctoral research at the University of Ottawa in Canada. In addition to bringing knowledge of academia and years of experience with corporate engagement, Ken also brings to the role a commitment to the mission of the University.
