CGI ConstructorsDanya Scott2026 Finalist
Manager of People and Social Initiatives at CGI Constructors
CGI ConstructorsSince joining CGI in 2018 (starting as Office Manager and growing into a senior leadership role), Danya has helped shape CGI into the kind of workplace that can scale across Canada without losing its culture. She’s led the rollout of BambooHR, rebuilt the employee handbook, and created more consistent feedback loops through surveys so issues get surfaced early — and fixed fast. She’s also been a steady hand behind talent systems that matter on real jobs: a site superintendent training program, stronger recruiting through a refreshed website + careers site, and a more intentional presence at career fairs. Colleagues described her as empathetic, calm, and quietly resourceful — “the quiet force solving problems before anyone else even notices them.” She’s also a builder of community inside and outside the company, supporting initiatives like Indigenous Awareness training, Women in Construction efforts, and team engagement events that actually strengthen collaboration.
What voters said
"Danya proactively communicates with clarity and fairness, and supports both staff and leadership with a level of organization and care that ensures smooth operations and a healthy work environment."
"Danya's calm confidence and ability to lead by example is inspiring. For me, personally, Danya has raised the bar on how I approach my own challenges at work."
