Shawn McCarthy

Veteran journalist Shawn McCarthy has joined Sussex Strategy Group Inc. as senior counsel.

Recently, McCarthy retired from The Globe and Mail as a national business correspondent covering global energy. His previous job also included the role of Parliamentary Bureau Chief, serving as chief political writer, and New York City correspondent, covering U.S. corporate stories and international political stories at the UN.

He has also worked at the Toronto Star, Canadian Press, and the Alberta Report Magazine.

McCarthy will continue to write for various publications, teach political journalism at Carleton University and serve as a president of the Canadian Community for World Press Freedom, Ottawa.

Brett James, principal of Sussex Strategy Group and Communications and Federal Practices Lead, said, “We look forward to his participation with our award-winning communications team and his expertise and knowledge in support of our clients, with a particular focus on those in the energy and environment sectors.”

Shawn also commented, “I’m excited to join Sussex’s strong team of communicators and public affairs professionals to continue my work on energy and climate-change issues, as well as on the broader business and political landscape. The current election is a good example of the opportunity for our clients to put their best foot forward since the various parties offer some stark policy choices and the result will have important consequences for businesses and consumers alike.”
