Diane built her communications career inside one of Canada’s most iconic brands — Tim Hortons.

 

Over 19 years, she led every facet of communications, from internal engagement to national media relations, as the company evolved from a 1,000-store chain owned by Wendy’s International, through its IPO, and ultimately into private equity ownership.

​

For the past 10 years, she has led Key Communications, partnering with national associations, non-profits, new startups and global organizations to deliver strategic, practical communications support that drives real results.

​

She’s known for her calm, strategic mindset and her ability to lead through growth and change. Diane brings strong cross-functional leadership, creativity, and practical judgment to every project. Most importantly, she understands audiences — whether employees, members, franchisees, customers, or media — and knows how to shape messages that resonate with each.

​

Key Communications also partners with trusted agencies and specialists to provide integrated support when projects call for it. Whatever the need, we build the right team to deliver thoughtful, seamless support.
