Kim Leclerc, Senior Advisor in Public Affairs and Strategic Communications, AUCOIN Stratégie & Communication, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Website: https://kimleclerc.ca

## Who he is

Kim Leclerc is an Ottawa-based advisor specializing in federal public affairs, government relations, crisis communications, and issues management. He advises organizations on policy risks and strategic opportunities — typically before they appear on others’ radar.

His signature approach: finding the path that is not on the map yet, because he started reading the terrain earlier. He is known for being early — on files, on risks, on opportunities — and for managing crises that never became public because they were resolved before escalation.

Born in Quebec city, He grew up in Matane, Quebec. He trained in political work in Paris France before building a career across Quebec and federal politics. He has lived in Quebec City and Montreal in the past. He has lived in Ontario for over a decade and operates fluently across Canada’s two linguistic political worlds as an insider in both — not as a translator.

- Strategic communications and crisis management
- Canadian defence policy and procurement (F-35, NORAD modernization)

- Expert quoted by Anadolu Agency on F-35 procurement alternatives for Canada (2024)
