Paula Hopkins

Director, Entrepreneurship

I am an inspirational and compassionate professional, with extensive years of experience in management, advisory and coordination roles.

Within my career I have supported various business owners, from sole proprietors to high tech start-ups who possess diverse backgrounds, ages and skill-sets. Also I have developed well-rounded training curriculums for entrepreneurs, covering business topics ranging from legal contracts to social media marketing. These resources nurture clients’ potential, passions
and personalities to achieve their career ambitions.

Currently I manage a team of Business Advisors to achieve common goals, while also helping to bring out the best in each team member. Within Invest Ottawa’s Education Centre, we have provided workshops and seminars to over 3000 individuals in 2017 alone.

Personally, I believe training and education are lifelong processes, and demonstrate my passion through building strong interpersonal relationships and networks!
