President and CEO, Canadian Council of Food and Nutrition
As President and CEO of the Canadian Council of Food and Nutrition, Francy Pillo-Blocka combines her expertise in science and nutrition with her experience in the corporate world. The Council is a national, non-profit organization which acts as a catalyst in advancing the nutritional health and well-being of all Canadians. It is perhaps best known for its Tracking Nutrition Trends Survey which examines adult consumers’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviours concerning food and nutrition. Previously, Ms. Pillo-Blocka worked at Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital — combining 10 years in patient care with practice-based research, followed by six years in corporate development. Ms. Pillo-Blocka, a registered dietitian, has received a number of awards including, in 2007, the honorable designation of Fellow of Dietitians of Canada.
