Hassan Ahmed is an Engagement Coordinator at the NATO Association of Canada, where he helps organize programs that promote transatlantic cooperation and public engagement on global security issues. He is a graduate of the University of Alberta Faculty of Law with a concentration in administrative law and regulatory affairs. Hassan is also an alumnus of the University of Calgary where he pursued an undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Political Science, focusing on strategic studies.
As part of the Chief’s Community Council, Hassan advises senior leadership at the Edmonton Police Service. His time at the legal departments at the Alberta Utilities Commission and the Ontario Energy Board has given him an appreciation for the careful balance between market forces and regulatory oversights, and the value of multilateral cooperation for infrastructure resiliency.
He’s a fan of policy deep-dives, quiet corners in libraries, and the occasional heated debate about what makes a society tick. Outside of that, he enjoys travelling, getting lost in obscure linguistic trivia, and trying to recruit friends for his next hiking trip—success rate pending.
