Ashton, a Partner at Crestview Strategy in Ottawa, will share his real-world tested strategies for influencing decision-makers, navigating political change, and staying ahead in public affairs.

With a career spanning Parliament Hill and beyond—as a political aide, campaign manager, and trusted media commentator—Ashton’s insights are as sharp as his credentials. Armed with a Master of Political Management from Carleton University and years of real-world experience, he’s here to equip attendees at our January event with practical tools for success in government relations, lobbying, media training, and more.
