P2P Group Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Rear-Admiral (Ret’d) Casper Donovan to its Advisory Board.
His appointment adds critical depth to the Company’s expansion into the defense and national security sectors, particularly in support of the commercialization of P2P’s StealthWave spatial intelligence platform.
Originally from Montreal, QC, Rear-Admiral Donovan served for 35 years in the Canadian Armed Forces. His operational career spanned both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, including command of His Majesty’s Canadian Ship Vancouver and deployments in support of Canadian, Coalition and NATO missions, including service in Afghanistan.
Following a strategic appointment to the Privy Council Office supporting the National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, Donovan was promoted to Flag rank in 2016. He was given the lead role in shaping the future of the Royal Canadian Navy. His mandate covered every critical element: surface and subsurface platforms, training, personnel, infrastructure, digital transformation and innovation.
In his most recent public appointment, Donovan served as Co-Executive Director of Canada’s Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference. His leadership of the inquiry’s operations was formally recognized by Commissioner Marie-Josee Hogue for its excellence and sound judgment.
Rear-Admiral Donovan holds a Bachelor of Politics and Economics and a Master of Defence Studies from the Royal Military College of Canada. He is a graduate of Canada’s National Security Program, the U.S. Department of Defence CAPSTONE course, and Harvard’s Senior Executives in National and International Security Program.
