Who Is Lisa Chen?
Prime example of high performance and precision.
Lisa’s journey is one of diverse passions and entrepreneurial spirit.
From excelling in classical dance and piano to her obsession with sports cars, she found her calling in finance. At 21, armed with licenses obtained through the Canadian Securities Institute, she executed trades for stocks, options, bonds, mutual funds, and fixed income securities on behalf of clients at a Canadian national brokerage firm for the next four years.
During this time, she discovered her love for auto racing and quickly achieved impressive results, with multiple top-three finishes out of 80 competitors in her rookie year and going on to achieve dozens of podium finishes across North America in autocross before transitioning into road course racing.
Exhibiting her entrepreneurial skill, Lisa helped transform a modest two-person business into the largest supplier in Canada’s sign and graphics industry, with offices in Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary. This achievement secured her a runner-up position in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year®. After her company was acquired and a brief retirement, her enduring passion for trading drove her to achieve a Top 5 ranking in the 2021 World Cup Championship®, earning her a place among the esteemed 13 World Cup Advisors®. Whether it’s mastering the fine arts or in auto races, Lisa consistently raises the bar and surpasses it.
