Advisory Board

David A. Brown, Q.C.

David Brown has joined the Q4 Web Systems advisory board, following seven years as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Securities Commission. Prior to joining the OSC, he was a senior corporate law partner with a predecessor firm to Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg for 29 years, focusing on mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and reorganization. During his tenure as Chairman and CEO, the OSC moved from a government agency to a self-funded Crown Corporation with a renewed mandate to provide effective protection to investors while maintaining strong, efficient capital markets in Canada. David led the expansion and reorganization of the OSC to meet the increasing demands of a changing market. This enabled the OSC to strengthen its resources and to focus its activities on providing a balanced regulatory response to emerging issues.

David has played a significant role in national and international regulatory bodies. He was the founding chair of the Council of Governors for the Canadian Public Accountability Board, a national body he helped form to oversee the audits of Canadian publicly-listed companies. He is a member of the Audit and Assurances Standards Oversight Council, a body formed by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants to oversee the setting of Canadian auditing standards. Internationally, he is a past chair of the Technical Committee and a member of the Executive Committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions. He is currently a member of the Public Interest Oversight Board, a new body formed by international regulatory and supervisory bodies to oversee the standards-setting and other public interest activities of the International Federation of Accountants.

David currently practices corporate finance and securities law with Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP, building on his 29 years of practice prior to his tenure with the OSC.
