In this final episode of season 3 of the DBA podcast we interview Lisa Prime, a champion of sustainability, planning and the built environment in Ontario, Canada.

Lisa's love of geography and passion for learning saw her career evolve across multiple roles in the public and private sector, including a decade helping shape one of Toronto's signature urban renewal projects - Waterfront Toronto. She was recently Chief Planner at the City of Cambridge, ON where her passion for digital enablement in the built environment gathered momentum. And now in the private sector with Diamond Schmitt, Lisa continues to push for sustainable change in Canada's communities.

As the TEMPO team travelled through North America in June 2024, there was one key stakeholder that stood out when discussing digital and data and housing.

Bert Pereboom is an Advisor with the Canadian government's Housing and Mortgage Corporation (CHMC) and in this interview he sits down with Gavin to discuss the current housing challenges across Canada and how data is at the centre of policy making, and the emerging digital transition to ensure greater efficiencies are gained through strategic investments in technology.

As we continue our industry leader showcases there are only a small handful (possibly less) of those that have played truly transformational roles within government. It is a rare breed, and Ian Opperman is one of those.

From deep telco afficionado to startup CEO, and research leader to Chief Data Scientist, Ian has been part of Australia's landscape when it comes to data-driven transformation within government. With his career harnessing a healthy dose of private sector experience (where he now calls home), his impact has been immeasurable.
