About Wayne Brownlee
In 1977, after acquiring a Bachelor of Science and Master of Business Administration from the University of Saskatchewan, Wayne Brownlee began his career as a Budget Analyst with the Saskatchewan Department of Finance. He later joined the Saskatchewan Department of Energy and Mines as an Assistant Deputy Minister. As an Associate Deputy Minister of the Treasury Board Division of the Saskatchewan Department of Finance, he was responsible for developing and implementing the Provincial Government’s annual budget and managing the Treasury Board process. His duties included policy responsibility for legislative and regulatory reform, taxation, and overall strategy.
Wayne Brownlee joined the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan in 1989. He coordinated the Company’s privatization which transformed it from a provincial Crown corporation to a publicly traded company. Over the next three decades, he was a catalyst for the expansion and development of PCS through acquisition activity. He was instrumental in the acquisition of the company’s nitrogen and phosphate assets. Until 2018 Brownlee remained CFO at PCS when PCS and Agrium merged to become Nutrien, the world’s largest provider of crop inputs, with its head office located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. During his term as CFO at Nutrien, Wayne oversaw all finance functions, plus the $6.0 billion divestment of equity interests in the Chilean potash producer SQM, Israel-based ICL Group and Jordan’s Arab Potash Company.
His commitment to developing the potash industry is matched by his devotion to his community. Wayne is a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council at the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan, the vice-chair of the Wanuskewin Heritage Park, and the chair of the Saskatoon Public Schools Foundation. Wayne unapologetically believes it is a moral obligation to acknowledge the challenges faced by Indigenous people and marginalized members of society. He is committed to learning and working together to give everyone a chance to succeed.
“I look forward to helping bring Gensource’s projects to fruition,” said Wayne Brownlee.
