Kensi Gounden

For a long time, Kensi Gounden has been considered uniquely capable of working collaboratively with stakeholders of all sizes and types. Over the years, he has worked closely with staff, of course, but he also has worked side-by-side with company executives and boards of directors. The fact of the matter is, Kensi has extensive experience working inside many complex environments, including his work as a general counsel for the Law Society of BC (British Columbia), which has a mission of regulating more than 13,000 attorneys.

In addition to his work with LSBC, Kensi Gounden also has extensive experience working within a private law firm environment. He has played a critical role in the design, development and implementation of a new LSBC executive management model in 2013, and he also helped to lead an organization-wide regulatory review. That review identified problems and made more than 900 recommendations for greater efficiency, with 80 percent of those recommendations being enacted, resulting in a large increase in employee satisfaction.
