Lisa Walsh

Originally from Belfast, Lisa moved to Vancouver in 2011 and is the Business Development Manager at the Centre for Entertainment Arts. In this role, she leads international outreach and project-based initiatives that support growth and innovation in creative education.

Before transitioning into business development, Lisa had a fulfilling career in counselling, supporting individuals through personal and academic challenges – a foundation that continues to shape her people-first approach to leadership and collaboration.

Lisa is passionate about building authentic connections and fostering collaboration across industries and cultures. Her work bridges people, projects, and places with a focus on creativity, purpose, and meaningful impact.

She’s excited to contribute to the Chamber’s mission and looks forward to supporting initiatives that connect and strengthen the Irish-Canadian business community.

Outside of work, she enjoys travelling, spending time in nature, and exploring new restaurants and live music across the city.
