ABOUT LISA
My background is a convergence of commercial, technical, and social systems knowledge.
I was born and raised by French parents in Sudbury, Ontario. I went to French school and won many scholarships and awards. My career was founded on hard work, the ingenuity of self-direction, a drive to succeed, and being bilingual.
I studied biochemistry at the University of Waterloo and began my career in the pharmaceutical industry. After university, I joined the local Sea Cadets and served as a Cadet Instructor Cadre Officer, achieving the rank of sub-lieutenant and specializing as a training officer.
The evolution of my pharmaceutical roles and my military experience led me to become the Manager of Compliance & Technical Training. During that time, I completed an adult learning diploma. I leveraged my experience and education as a bilingual training and development leader in several large corporations and expanded my leadership and organizational development expertise.
My ongoing trajectory took me back to my roots in the mining industry. It included accrediting as a Certified Training & Development Professional (CTDP), spearheading talent management initiatives, and leading many large-scope global projects. I completed Strategic Workforce Planning, Human Capital Strategist, and ROI Specialist certifications.
Along the way, I completed Schulich’s Executive Mini-MBA program and certification as a Leadership Coach and became an independent consultant working on many strategic organizational development initiatives, including several ongoing contracts.
How do we operate?
O Consulting operates by partnering and sub-contracting with other specialists needed to remain agile and financially accessible to companies small and large. I am proud that most of our contracts have resulted from referrals or through my growing network.
Why O Consulting?
The compelling value proposition of O Consulting comes from my unique background founded on exposure to diverse people, projects, and companies, through travel and opportunities in multiple industries, addressing all types of people challenges.
My science, quality, and military background have served me well as an HR leader and consultant. I have more technical and business savviness than most HR leaders. Most of my jobs were “firsts,” I built the entire role and function and completed multiple successful projects. I am attracted to significant challenges/initiatives and can conceptualize, strategize, project plan, implement and execute – all with actual application and results.
I can also do this for smaller businesses…..contact me to
