A classical musician by training, Elizabeth has successfully applied the same skills she used to master one of the world’s most challenging instruments – the French Horn – to becoming an authority on the largest single source of federal government support for industrial R&D in Canada: the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax incentive program. Often quoted by the CBC, she has help innovative companies recover millions of dollars via The InGenuity Group®, where she oversees a team of PhDs, MBAs, and CAs in her role as Managing Partner & CEO.
Elizabeth stands out as a 30-year-old Master of Arts graduate in a male-dominated and technology-focused industry. In a sea of black suits, she is easy to spot in her trademark scarlet red dresses, usually engaged in a conversation that will bring out her vivacious laugh.
This musician-turned-entrepreneur keeps her passion for the arts alive via her community involvement. This includes sitting on several boards, working as a jury member for arts-based funding programs, and through her support of the National Arts Center foundation.
In her spare time, Elizabeth enjoys being out in nature snapping pictures with her two rescue dogs – Peanut and Bilbo Baggins – in tow, as well as raising funds for local and international animal rescues organizations.

Hi Elizabeth, I was in the audience yesterday at the Y. You were brilliant! Witty, approachable, so smart and refreshingly modest. My husband and I both come from musical backgrounds. He especially shares your talent for relating all of life’s adventures / challenges to music. I did my best to re-tell him all the highlights and we had a good laugh. Thank you for sharing your time and smarts! – Helena Achia
