Partner - Doane Grant Thornton

As a partner in Risk Services at Doane Grant Thornton, Leah provides consulting and advisory services related to governance, risk management, privacy, information technology, fraud, and cybersecurity to a variety of clients. These include post-secondary institutions, privately held businesses, the public sector, and Indigenous-owned businesses, as well as public companies listed in both Canada and the US.

In an increasingly chaotic business and political climate, she focuses on helping clients navigate their way through evolving business environments, regulations, technologies, and stakeholder/public expectations. Leah works closely with organizations to help them identify opportunities to increase effectiveness and efficiency, and to deal with significant, new and emerging risks. In the university space, these types of risks would include things like financial sustainability and reliance on government funding.

Leah is a frequent speaker on risk and governance, including at various national conferences with the Institute of Internal Auditors and the Aboriginal Financial Officers Association.
