Profile: Stephen (Steve) M.V. Clark

Welcome Steve Clark, the new Vice President of Gas Development/Director of Sales and Marketing for TransCanada. Stephen brings over 20 years of industry experience to his appointment, providing him with the skills necessary to be successful in his new role and with customers.


Steve has carried out many roles in TransCanada/NOVA Corp. Immediately prior to his new appointment, Steve was the Vice President of Western Business Development where he led pipeline business development activities in Western North America. He was also Vice President of Gathering and Processing (G&P) at TransCanada Midstream from 1998 to 2000, where he was responsible for the leadership and management of that team.

Prior to the TransCanada/NOVA merger, Steve was one of the founding members of Novagas Canada Ltd. (NCL), which was NOVA's entry into the Midstream business. Steve helped build the G&P organization from a startup operation. In this role, Steve was responsible for the identification, evaluation, and prosecution of opportunities in the natural gas midstream business. He specifically led the teams that developed, managed and exploited NCL's investments in Northern Alberta and Northeastern B.C. Steve also spent time in the chemical side of NOVA where he was Product Manager, Western Ethylene and Manager, Ethane Acquisition. The different roles with NOVA have provided Steve with the diverse knowledge of the industry needed in his new role at TransCanada.

Prior to his experience at TransCanada and NOVA, Steve worked in various Engineering based roles with companies such as Fluor Daniel Canada Inc., Stone and Webster Canada Ltd., Enhanced Recovery Systems Ltd., and Dynawest Projects Ltd.

With Steve's busy schedule, he still seems to find the time to volunteer. He is currently a board member of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) for South Central Alberta. As part of Steve's work with the CMHA, he co-produced "Calgary Cooks", a book that raised $140,000 for the CMHA. In addition, Steve is currently working with the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation. The foundation is raising $50 million that will be used to create a world-class centre of excellence in pediatric care.

In Steve's new role of Vice President of Gas Development/Director of Sales and Marketing, his mandate is to instill entrepreneurial spirit and attitude. He is now much closer to the day-to-day commercial activities of TransCanada and our customer base. "We are facing some exciting times moving forward with Sales and Marketing. I look forward to the challenges ahead and building on the relationships with our customers," says Steve.
