Hugessen Consulting Announces Ciara Wakita as Partner, Co-Leader of Board Effectiveness Practice

TORONTO, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Hugessen Consulting is proud to announce the promotion of Ciara Wakita to Partner. Since joining the firm in 2022, Ciara has played a pivotal role in expanding Hugessen's Board Effectiveness practice, which she co-leads across Canada, the US, and Bermuda. Her promotion reflects the firm's continued investment in this rapidly growing area of strategic advisory.

Ciara brings over 15 years of experience advising boards and executives across the public and private sectors. She is known for being a force for good in corporate boardrooms, bringing expertise, sound judgement, and an objective perspective to complex decisions and governance challenges.
