Kelly Hopper
Your #1 Choice for Calgary Signal Hill
Meet Kelly Hopper, your distinguished candidate for Calgary Signal Hill, a true embodiment of local dedication and global expertise. Born and nurtured in the heart of Calgary, Kelly's journey from a celebrated participant in the 1988 Winter Olympics to a venerated leader in international finance and community service underscores a lifelong commitment to excellence and community.
Kelly's roots in Calgary run deep, while her professional and volunteer endeavors have spanned the globe, showcasing her remarkable ability to navigate and enhance the diverse tapestry of international cultures and economies. With over 25 years of professional experience, Kelly has not only thrived in Canada but has also left a lasting impact worldwide, including in China and Taiwan, Mexico, USA, the UK, and Western Europe, working directly within these dynamic markets. Her success in partnerning with immigrants from Southeast Asia during her time with 7-11 further highlights her unique cultural strengths and understanding, key assets for a constituency as diverse as Calgary Signal Hill, where 25-35% of the population are immigrants from countries like China and India.
A University of Calgary alumna, Kelly's academic background in Canadian Studies and Commerce, combined with her licensure as a professional accountant, have laid a solid foundation for her distinguished career in Finance and Organizational Transformation. From steering companies through critical turnarounds to spearheading operations in the Big 4, Private Equity, and Fortune 200 companies, her path has been marked by relentless pursuit of excellence, innovation, and servant leadership. Kelly's work across continents in the restaurant industry, consumer goods, technology, energy, manufacturing, and health care, especially during the challenging times of the subprime mortgage crisis in the USA while building a newly acquired subprime mortgage servicing platform of companies, demonstrates her exceptional ability to drive positive change and keep communities thriving.
Kelly's vision for Calgary Signal Hill is rooted in her extensive experience and her deep commitment to fiscal responsibility, accountability, economic growth, cultural diplomacy and inclusivity of all people. She will leverage her international experience and business acumen to address the economic challenges facing our community, focusing on balancing the budget, less government, lower taxes, leaving more money in the hands of the taxpayer resulting in more choice and freedom as to where his or her hard earned dollars will be spent.
Running to be your Member of Parliament candidate, Kelly Hopper is motivated by a profound desire to rectify the course set by the current administration. She stands with Pierre Poilievre, ready to bring her wealth of experience, her global perspective, competence, and her results-oriented leadership to serve the people of Calgary Signal Hill.
