Derek Payne adds depth to Jostle Board

Veteran strategic advisor and executive Derek Payne brings his expertise to the Jostle board of directors.

Vancouver, Canada (July 25, 2019): Jostle, the creator of the world’s most engaging employee intranet, is now even stronger with the addition of Derek Payne to our Board of Directors. Derek is a financial executive and strategic advisor, with an interest in helping unique workplace cultures flourish, and empowering leaders through mentoring and coaching. This appointment is effective immediately.

Derek’s financial executive positions at DIRTT Environmental Solutions, FilterBoxx Water and Environmental, and WestJet Airlines Ltd., will provide invaluable expertise and experience to complement the strengths of Jostle’s current board. Passionate about serving others, Derek volunteers his time and knowledge to a variety of causes including Hospice Calgary and Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada.

“Derek believes finance is an important contributor to planning and communicating company direction. That aligns well with Jostle, and how we think an intranet can help companies succeed,” said Brad Palmer, CEO and co-founder of Jostle.

“I’ve been fortunate in my career to have had the opportunity to work with companies who prioritized and were recognized for their unique corporate culture. I’m excited to work with Jostle, whose platform helps companies achieve this same objective by enabling better communication, collaboration, and coordination of corporate news, activities, and events,” commented Derek Payne.

Don Bell, co-founder of WestJet Airlines Ltd. and Jostle Board Chair, added “Derek improves and enriches every community he’s part of—whether in a professional or volunteer capacity.
