Hello and Welcome.
Trevor Kraus
MSc, CD, ACC, PMP, rmc
Hi, I am Trevor Kraus, an accredited Master-level Integral Coach and ACC-level certified coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am a Canadian Armed Forces veteran, Army engineering officer, former senior executive, project manager and senior advisor with a proven track record in high-stakes, national and international environments. Over the course of my career, I’ve served as a military officer in Bosnia, a UN Weapons Inspector in Iraq, and a leader of multi-billion-dollar international programs and projects for the military. I’ve also held senior executive roles in the federal Public Service, including two appointments as Chief Administrative Officer and many others where I spearheaded major departmental and government-wide business transformations, multi-billion dollar, highly complex program delivery operations, annual operating budgets exceeding $200 million and large teams of executives and non-executives.
During the COVID-19 crisis, I led Canada’s National Operations Centre, overseeing critical national responses — from securing vaccines and PPE to managing international logistics and laying the groundwork for reopening the economy. Previously, I was a Visiting Professor of Project Management at Algonquin College’s School of Business and a TEDx Speaker Coach, where I helped speakers prepare for their time on the “red dot”.
