Speaker: Debbie DaSilva, Partner at KPMG
As an experienced Partner at KPMG, I bring over 30 years of leadership in private enterprise. My expertise lies in technology, construction and related trades, retail, and the medical professions. My approach is centered on understanding the unique requirements of my clients and establishing trust-based relationships. I believe in a 'listening first' approach, recognizing that each client has individual needs. I assist clients in resolving business challenges, particularly those associated with tax, accounting, and operational matters.
Outside of my professional life, I actively participate in community service, serving on the board of the Central Okanagan Bursary and Scholarship Society (COBSS) and the Canadian Mental Health Association, Kelowna & District. I am deeply committed to mentoring future leaders and making a positive impact in my local community.
