Ailish Campbell’s seasoned history in the public service is the foundation for her ability to create long lasting impact in policy.
Campbell is the driving force behind exporting, investing, and partnership developments for entrepreneurs in Canada.
“I think it is our job to help entrepreneurs navigate government,” said Campbell. “Our trade commissioners know the entire ecosystem and follow the exporter through their whole journey.”
Campbell is one of Canada’s leading women role models in the public service as the Chief Trade Commissioner of Canada and Assistant Deputy Minister of Global Affairs. A government game changer, Campbell is working to shape the lives of Canadians through policy and reform.
In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to Campbell about what it takes to empower a generation of women entrepreneurs and how she’s working to create a globally competitive Canadian economy.
