Laurie recently retired from a global service provider based out of Toronto. After getting her Electrical Engineering degree from USask, she moved out to Ontario and spent the next 10 years working as a Protection and Control Engineer for Ontario’s largest electricity transmission and distribution service provider. Her focus shifted to Business Process Outsourcing and she rounded out her career helping clients around the world implement the appropriate processes and controls to satisfy multiple standards such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and GDPR. Managing a global program required flexibility, the ability to gain consensus across multiple cultural and business perspectives, and exceptional vision to establish standard processes to meet the clients’ needs efficiently. 

When it came time to retire, she made the trek back to Saskatchewan, and enjoys golfing, playing pickleball, being part of the Search and Rescue community, and cheering on all sports that she can fit into her busy schedule. Laurie is looking forward to helping Leadership Saskatoon develop tomorrow’s leaders.

Salam and greetings! I am originally from Pakistan and Turtle Island, Treaty six territory, Saskatoon has been home to me since 2012.

Boring Part: I did my MBA from Pakistan and my Master of Public Health Course (MPH) in 2016 from the University of Saskatchewan (USask). I had the privilege of working on public health and inclusive development projects in the global south, namely Pakistan, and with international development agencies based in Austria, Germany and The Netherlands.

Fun Part: In 2022, I joined USask as a Talent and EDI consultant. I am thrilled every day to work for an institution that is an innovative, accessible, and welcoming place for students, educators, and researchers from around the world and serves the public good by promoting diversity, reconciliation and meaningful change and by preparing students for enriching careers and fulfilling lives as engaged global citizens. I am also a proud Leadership Saskatoon alumni (2019).

My WHY is to create healthy and anti-racist workplace ecosystems that are diverse, inclusive, safe and fun to work in. Where individuals are inspired and fulfilled by creating a positive impact in Saskatchewan and globally.
