The Top 50 Women Leaders of Vancouver for 2024
Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders of Vancouver for 2024. Known for an abundance of natural beauty and plenty of outdoor activities, it’s no wonder some of Vancouver’s top industries include forestry, natural resources, and tourism. But the diverse, affluent economy is also built around clean technology, entertainment and film, construction, finance, aviation, and even video games.
The top women executives of Vancouver include environmental leader Christine Patterson. Patterson is a VP and Director of Operations at AECOM, where she’s served for two decades, starting as an environmental engineer and working her way up to the C-suite.
We also honor Terralynn Forsyth, the Co-Founder and Head of Data for FutureFit AI. As an AI product leader interested in the future of work and workforce technology, Forsyth partners with Fortune 500s, governments, and workforce development organizations in building tools for career navigation and demand-driven workforce ecosystems.
Finally, we celebrate the career of Winnie Lam Cha, Partner of KPMG Canada. With over 20 years of experience in professional practice, Winnie has held progressively senior positions in various practices and is a respected leader in the organization's Financial Services group. She was promoted to Partner in 2014, making her one of the firm’s youngest partners admitted to the partnership that year.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders of Vancouver for 2024.
