Our Leadership Team

Former big-agency people with excellent credentials, we’ve learned how to work smarter along the way.

Courtney Khimji

Founder & CEO

Throughout her 15+ year PR career, Courtney has seen it all. Her agile approach and bold mindset have led her to lead award-winning projects across all sectors of the communications landscape, including earned media, content marketing and experiential production. A writer at heart, Courtney holds an M.A. in the Humanities from the University of Chicago. She’s a mom, an equestrian, and a die-hard morning person.

Fraser Ballard

VP, Strategy

With 10+ years of client leadership experience, Fraser brings his proactivity, finesse and creative flair to every project that he touches. A true multi-hyphenate, he has led 360° PR, social and editorial programs for blue-chip global brands in the travel, apparel and luxury sectors. A design lover and occasional editor, the Montreal-native can usually be found in the air or in the chip aisle at your local dépanneur.

Signe Barlow

VP, PR & Communications

Signe blends top-tier expertise in partnerships and media relations, with a focus on civic-minded brands, non-profits, F&B, and hospitality. Before Chimera, she led teams at top agencies, and excels at crafting powerful brand narratives. Formerly a national-level ice dancer, she now coaches skaters on performing with poise under pressure.

Our extended staff of full-time consultants bring exceptional rigour, creativity and connections to our collective. We are a certified Diversity Supplier via WEConnect International.
