Lisa Baiton took the helm as president and CEO of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers this May, arriving with 30 years experience working as a business advisor. She most recently served on the Global Leadership Team at the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.

Baiton discusses with Energy Examined what inspired her to take on the new role, and her top priorities leading Canada's national oil and natural gas industry association--including an emphasis on industry's role as a solutions partner in reducing GHG emissions while working with allies around the world to provide energy security.
