Marty joined FMI August 2020 following his retirement from the Federal Public Service after an outstanding 32-year career, including his last 7 years as a CFO (Public Services & Procurement Canada and Fisheries, Oceans & Canadian Coast Guard). He began his career in regional economic development and later strategic planning, following which, Marty spent 14 years with the RCMP in senior financial roles, including his last 6 years there as their Deputy CFO.
Among his greatest honors, Marty was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for Excellence. He is recognized for his leadership and commitment to the financial management community, his wealth of knowledge and experience from his 2O+ years as a senior executive in public sector financial management, and his open, collaborative and transparent approach.
