Hi, I'm Lisa Lambert.
I'm a learn-it-all. problem solver. question asker. trust builder. facilitator. science communicator community architect. trailblazer.
At the heart of my professional ethos is the belief that the convergence of science, technology, and innovation with connection, communication, and learning can lead to remarkable outcomes.
This belief has been my guiding star, leading me to cultivate communities and collaborations where innovative ideas don’t just spark; they ignite into meaningful actions with real-world impact.
Here are some examples of the results I’ve delivered:
- Spearheaded strategic projects that secured over $500 million in both public and private investments, driving tangible progress and propelling transformative initiatives forward.
- Collaborated with luminaries such as Margaret Atwood, Prof. Stephen Hawking, Dr. Neil Turok, Seth Godin, and Roger Martin, bringing their trailblazing projects to life and amplifying their impact globally.
- Developed and led new business lines that multiplied revenue 10x within 12 months and led to multiple award recognitions that bolstered corporate brand.
- Ignited collective action by facilitating dialogue and partnerships across leaders, communities, academia, industry, government, and media leading to collaborations that transcended traditional boundaries and disrupted the status quo.
- Strengthened and expanded world-class innovation hubs, enriching dynamic ecosystems where groundbreaking ideas thrive and lead to potential breakthroughs.
- Transformed virtual learning for tens of thousands of people in 90+ countries, unlocking access to knowledge and empowering learners worldwide.
And I’ve had a whole heap of fun along the way collaborating with incredible people, organizations, and communities! 🥳
These days, you’ll find me:
- Serving as Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Industry Canada (QIC), the country’s national consortium of quantum innovators.
- Coaching a very select group of innovation leaders to help propel them on their journey of stepping into possibility.
- Delivering presentations and facilitating workshops and trainings related to my Amazon best-selling book The Future Is Trust: Embracing the Era of Trust-Centered Leadership co-authored with Rick Kitagawa.
- Being fascinated by open source projects, citizen science initiatives, social physics, sports fandom, game design, and societal phase shifts.
- Exploring the great outdoors with my two dogs, adventuring on two wheels, skiing the surrounding mountains, improving my golf game, or planning my next scuba diving adventure.
I’ve worked with leaders and multidisciplinary teams from organizations around the world including:
