The Board of Directors of the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) has appointed Jeremy Dunn as the organization's new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective July 7, 2026.
Dunn brings over two decades of experience in port operations, business development, large infrastructure, and coastal asset management; most recently, he served as Vice President of Operations at the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA Ports), where he orchestrated rapid commercial growth for Ontario's coastal communities.
He also served as HOPA's Vice President of Commercial between 2019 and 2024, managing a portfolio of real estate assets and over 150 commercial tenants.
The Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority manages an integrated port network in Hamilton, Oshawa, and the Niagara region, which includes over 5.66 km2 of deep-water terminals, warehouses, cargo facilities, multimodal services, and marine rail links.
During his tenure, Dunn led the commercial development of industrial hubs along the Welland Canal and attracted partner investments for the construction of a USD 95 million sugar refinery, as well as for the modernization of a USD 25 million agri-food terminal.
He also brings experience in transportation construction and civil infrastructure development at The Miller Group, where he held various leadership positions.
Dunn replaces Don Krusel, who served as interim CEO of GVHA since December 2025 and will resume his position on the Board of Directors. During his six-month tenure, he provided strategic leadership on several key initiatives.
"We are pleased to welcome Jeremy to the dynamic Port of Victoria. His impressive experience in port development stood out throughout the selection process. He is an inspiring leader with an impeccable track record in business growth, partnership development, and complex project execution. His leadership will be invaluable to GVHA as we continue to drive a long-term vision for our properties. Jeremy is the ideal leader for the organization's next stage," stated Mark Mawhinney, Chair of the GVHA Board of Directors.
Dunn expressed his eagerness to begin. "Victoria boasts a unique port that offers unique opportunities. I am excited by the challenge of leading GVHA into its next phase. I look forward to meeting the people who care deeply about this port and working together to develop the full potential of GVHA's coastal properties, while ensuring they continue to serve the region for generations," he indicated.
