Pamela Snively is the Chief Data & Trust Officer at TELUS. She leads the team responsible for privacy, data and AI governance and data ethics, along with data management and a number of compliance functions. Pam approaches overall data governance through the lens of customer trust, leveraging TELUS’ Customer First principle to drive the organization’s commitment to privacy and data ethics.

Under Pam’s leadership, TELUS has significantly transformed its approach to transparency about its data handling practices. This has included a refresh of the TELUS Privacy Centre to include layered information on TELUS’ data management practices, as well as some best practices to help our customers protect their information.

She participates in a number of national and international think-tanks and governance bodies related to AI, privacy and data governance, including the Information Accountability Foundation and Privacy and Data Advisory Committee for the Canadian Marketing Association. She is also a founding member and Chair of Canada’s Business Privacy Group, which is focused on building trust in Canada’s digital ecosystem.

Pam is a frequent speaker on privacy and data ethics and she actively encourages other organizations to join her in her mission to earn and elevate consumer trust in our digital ecosystem.
