Delphic Research is pleased to welcome Justin A. Brown as our newest Strategic Advisor. With over 30 years of experience spanning the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors, Justin brings a wealth of expertise in external relations, government affairs, and stakeholder engagement. His deep knowledge of policy and regulatory landscapes will further enhance Delphic Research’s ability to provide unparalleled intelligence and strategic insights to our clients.
Justin has held senior advisory roles at both the federal and provincial levels, serving as a political aide to three senior cabinet ministers in the Government of Canada and as Chief of Staff across multiple Ontario government portfolios. Throughout his career, he has been at the forefront of major policy and crisis management efforts, playing a key role in responses to critical events such as the Ice Storm, SARS crisis, electricity blackout, and 9/11.
Beyond government, Justin has led transformative initiatives in the health sector, representing major health research organizations such as the Heart & Stroke Foundation and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. His leadership in fundraising, program development, and policy advocacy has driven lasting change to improve the health of Canadians. He is the President and Founder of the Millard-Edward Group and as a consultant, he has advised pharmaceutical and medical device firms, crafting and executing successful government relations and advocacy strategies that deliver results.
Most recently, as CEO and Corporate Secretary of the Ontario Association of Optometrists, Justin led the organization through the landmark “Save Eye Care” campaign, securing an historic OHIP agreement—the first in over 32 years—to improve access to vision care for children and seniors. His leadership helped the OAO achieve its highest membership levels and secure long-term financial stability.
“I am excited to join Delphic Research and support its mission to deliver high-quality policy and regulatory intelligence, through the Millard-Edward Group,” said Justin. “Having worked extensively in government and advocacy, I know firsthand the importance of timely, data-driven insights in shaping effective strategies. I look forward to helping clients navigate today’s complex policy environment.”
