Andrew Stuckey
General Manager/Senior Consultant
I am a seasoned public-sector professional with exceptional communications, project management and business continuity skills.
My first career was as an intelligence officer with the US Air Force. I also have a background in journalism, working at various daily and community newspapers across Canada, and professional communications, building engagement at numerous public-sector organizations, including local governments, school boards and destination marketing organizations.
I own and operate several media companies, including StarNorth Public-Sector Services, through which I manage the delivery of communications, privacy and continuity planning support to local governments, First Nations and not-for-profit organizations.
I live in Gander, NL, with my wife Tracey and a very special nine-year-old boy.
Responsible Social Media and Networking
Building awareness and consensus that online social networking platforms such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are not so much a means for users to freely engage with family, friends and others but more so for thought manipulation and data-mining resources for large corporations. I want to help public-sector organizations rethink their current use of social media platforms to engage constituents.
Fortunately, there are other options available for local governments to construct online social networking resources that allow for dissemination of information and discussion among constituents in a user-friendly secure environment.
