Rick Doman has been appointed to the Forestry Innovation Investment (FII) board as chair. Doman brings more than 40 years of experience in Canada’s forestry industry to the role. Getting his start in the lumber operation and sales department in his family’s forestry business, he eventually moved to managing the sawmill, logging and pulp operations. He then oversaw the North American lumber sales and later the global lumber and pulp operations and sales, where he cut his teeth on global lumber and pulp marketing. From 2001 until 2018, Doman held different positions as chief executive director, chairman and director in several forestry companies, including Western Forest Products and EACOM Timber Corporation, which he founded. In 2021, Doman also co-founded GreenFirst Forest Products, West Kitikmeot Resources and Boreal Carbon Corporation. Doman’s specialized experience with growing global forestry markets and founding and overseeing multiple forestry companies has positioned him to bring a valuable perspective to Forestry Innovation Investment’s board.
