John Fletcher

A graduate of McMaster University and the University of Western Ontario, John has practiced law in Alberta since 1979. His experience includes six years with a major law firm in Calgary as well as 15 years as Vice President, Legal and Corporate Affairs with Ranger Oil Limited, where he was responsible for all legal matters including: Negotiating multi-million dollar financing. Acquisitions and takeovers. Negotiating international oil and gas production sharing agreements. Much of John’s business philosophy is based on his learning experiences in the Canadian Forces. “Initially, I thought leaders just barked orders at people,” he says. “Later, I realized other people, even those in a subordinate position, might actually be smarter than me at many things and that by working together, we could create better results.”
