Welcome to the Fit Investor Podcast! In this episode, we are honored to welcome a remarkable individual, Serena Holmes, whose journey is a testament to her resilience, innovation, and commitment to personal and professional growth.

Before embarking on her journey as a realtor, Serena Holmes made a significant mark in the business world. For nearly 18 years, she spearheaded her own multi-award winning brand experience agency, Tigris Events. Under her visionary leadership, Tigris Events flourished into a powerhouse, boasting a team of ten full-time staff at their headquarters in Pickering and over 2,200 part-time staff spread along the country. Their outstanding work earned them 18 prestigious awards and numerous nominations, solidifying their reputation as industry leaders since 2014.

Serena's path took an exciting turn in February 2022, when she orchestrated a merger with another agency, propelling her business endeavours to new heights. While she remained involved in an advisory capacity, Serena has successfully shifted her focus to her role as a realtor and an active real estate investor.

Navigating the challenges posed by the pandemic, Serena embarked on a journey to obtain her real estate licenses while simultaneously undergoing rounds of editing for her book, "The Accidental Entrepreneur," released in October 2021. This inspiring book chronicles her evolution from a tumultuous childhood to becoming a self-made entrepreneur. Through candid insights into her struggles, lessons learned, and mistakes made, Serena aims to offer solace and guidance to others facing similar challenges, both personally and professionally.

Beyond her work, Serena's passions encompass family, travel, health and fitness, wildlife, and sustainability. A dedicated advocate, she served as the VP of Events for the Toronto Chapter of the American Marketing Association from January to December 2018. Her commitment to community engagement is also evident through her involvement on Camp Trillium's Board from 2015 to 2018, and her volunteer work with two Elephant Nature Park Projects in Thailand in 2017.
