Program Director, Work & Economics

Renze Nauta is the Program Director for Work and Economics at Cardus.

He was previously the policy director to two Leaders of the Opposition and held various roles in the Prime Minister’s Office. Holding degrees in philosophy and economics, he is keenly interested in understanding how economic policy, social policy, ethics, philosophy, and religion come together for the common good. He has also worked in a small business, which has given him a greater appreciation of the real-world effects of government policy.

Originally from Edmonton, Renze now lives in Ottawa where he and his wife are raising their son. He is active in his parish and serves on the board of directors of Maryvale Academy, an independent Catholic school in Ottawa.
