Proactive Investors, a leading multi-media news and events management business, is pleased to announce two senior hires to its expanding team in Canada.
They are Steve Darling, who is joining as lead broadcaster, and Katie Lewis, our new senior reporter.
Based in Proactive’s Vancouver studio and newsroom, both bring with them a wealth of experience.
Steve is an award-winning broadcaster who has spent 25 years working in British Columbia. He co-anchored the Global BC Morning News for 15 years and while there covered some of the biggest news and business stories in the province.
Katie, who joins from Discourse Media, was a senior communicator for RBC Global Asset Management and before that as a reporter in Uganda and China. In the course of a distinguished career, she has produced in-depth coverage for the Toronto Star, Ottawa Citizen, CBC, Al Jazeera and NPR.
The appointments coincide with the opening of Proactive’s new Vancouver operation. Live this summer, the new Canadian facility is part of a global studio and publishing network that includes operations in New York, London and Sydney.
Proactive Investors chief executive Ian Mclelland said: “Our new Vancouver studio is being built to enhance already comprehensive coverage of Canada’s growth company sector and we’re excited about welcoming a broadcaster of Steve Darling’s talent and experience. And our latest addition to the writing team, Katie Lewis, sports a background perfectly suited to our editorial tone and client base. I have no doubt they will bring a new dimension to how we communicate on behalf of some of Canada’s most innovative companies.”

Rogers is the big winner here, escaping his contract.
to say he “covered some of the biggest news and business stories in the province”. He read words from a teleprompter. Period.
Katie Lewis has very impressive credentials and I wish her much success.
Nowadays, a teleprompter and green screen is all you need. It seems.
Steve Darling got JOLTED out of a LONG term job with BCTV/Global,
and suddenly found himself without a place to “drive to work to” every morning.
– That turns your head upside down.
– And you make some odd choices.
(… A “state of mind” that I’m sure many, many readers of this site can relate to.)
