For nearly a decade, Anna Keller has facilitated growth in dozens of new foreign markets for her employers and clients alike by developing business outreach strategies and acquisition plans.
As a corporate lawyer at Shopify in 2018, she spearheaded an international corporate structure that enabled the company to seamlessly expand into overseas markets – a goal she is continuing to pursue in her current role at the Canadian Commercial Corporation, a Crown corporation that helps Canadian exporters sell products and services abroad, where she is the only female senior legal counsel.
While Keller’s work is currently focused on guiding businesses through international expansion, she previously worked on internal business and revenue growth initiatives while working in private practice and saw the firm’s clientele increase by 20 per cent.
