REGINA —Mark Guillet, who has been acting as SaskEnergy president and CEO since February, has been formally named to the position.
“On behalf of SaskEnergy’s Board of Directors, I would like to congratulate Mark Guillet on his formal appointment as president and CEO. After an extensive search, it was clear to the Board that he is the best person to lead SaskEnergy,” says board Chair Susan Barber.
“Mark is a passionate and steady leader, consistently demonstrating that he has the corporation’s best interests at heart. He has done an exceptional job at positioning SaskEnergy for a successful and sustainable future.”
With over three decades at SaskEnergy, Guillet has dedicated his career to the company. He joined SaskEnergy’s legal department in 1990 and became a member of the executive team in 1995, when he was appointed general counsel and corporate secretary. In 2020, his portfolio expanded as he became executive vice-president of Stakeholder Engagement, chief legal officer and corporate secretary. This role positioned Guillet with a cross-section of responsibilities, including SaskEnergy’s Legal and Regulatory Compliance, Environment, Indigenous & Community Engagement, Communications and Land functions. He also served as the corporation’s chief privacy officer.
“It is an honour to be named SaskEnergy’s president and CEO. As a leader of a dedicated team of employees located throughout the province, it is my intent that we continue to build on our vision of environmental sustainability and economic prosperity for future generations,” said Guillet.
In addition to his roles at SaskEnergy, Guillet has been an active member of the community. Recognition for his contributions includes an appointment to the King’s Counsel by the Lieutenant Governor in Council for exceptional merit (in the legal profession and community, in 2015) and further, a recipient of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal for outstanding service to the province, in 2022.
Guillet was born and raised in Saskatchewan. He has a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Saskatchewan and holds a Certified In-House Counsel Canada (CIC.C) designation as well as an Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD.D) designation. He lives in Regina with his wife and is a proud father and grandpa.
