As Chairman of Eurasia Group, Gerald works closely with CEO Maziar Minovi and President Ian Bremmer on strategic initiatives across all areas of the firm. With experience on a multitude of public policy and geopolitical issues, he has developed deep expertise on trade, national security, energy transition, sustainable finance, and artificial intelligence. He advises Eurasia Group clients across these areas.
Gerald has successfully led Canadian and global organizations in the public and private sectors for 20 years. He has been the senior strategic advisor to two G7 Prime Ministers (including current Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney) and the Premier of Canada's largest province. From 2015-19, Gerald was responsible for providing executive direction on the development, implementation, and communication of the Canadian government's agenda. This work included overseeing economic policy, the negotiation of the Paris climate accord, and the creation of Canada's first national Artificial Intelligence plan. Gerald played a major role in managing relations with the US administrations of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, as well as in the negotiation of the USMCA.
Prior to his work with the prime minister, Gerald was also the CEO of WWF-Canada, where he was responsible for international engagement and global projects to decarbonize the supply chains of multinational companies. He currently sits on the Board of WWF-US.
A successful leader in politics as well as public policy, Gerald played a leadership role in the design of the strategies for the Liberal Party's 2015, 2019, and 2025 national election campaigns — as well as Justin Trudeau's bid for the party's leadership in 2013, and Mark Carney's in 2025. The 2015 campaign, widely recognized as one of Canada's most innovative and successful, saw the Liberal Party move from third place in parliament to a majority government. Its gain of 148 new seats was the largest in Canadian history. The 2025 campaign saw the party overcome a 25 point deficit to win a 3 point victory, the largest comeback in Canadian history.
He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from McGill University.
