CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER / EXECUTIVE OPERATIONS
After building a diverse career spanning business administration, finance, human resources, and executive operations, Lisa King has earned a reputation as someone who can be counted on to move things forward—particularly when the path ahead is complex.
Lisa began her career with the Halifax Municipal Government before shifting her priorities to spend more time raising her children. During those years, she completed an intensive entrepreneurship program and built her own Administrative Consulting Business from the ground up, working with entrepreneurial leaders and organizations including Pete Luckett, ViewPoint Realty, Financial Advisors, HR consultants, and Real Estate Investors. The experience strengthened her ability to think independently, solve problems, build relationships, and adapt quickly.
As her children grew, Lisa returned to increasingly senior roles, including managing the operations of a winery, before ultimately joining Eastport—an organization that matched her entrepreneurial mindset and drive to build, improve, and solve.
Today, as Eastport’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Lisa works at the intersection of people, leadership, and business strategy. Persistent and resourceful, she readily takes ownership of complex challenges, finds solutions, and follows through. Her approach combines strategic thinking, practical execution, sound judgment, and a strong commitment to the company’s long-term success.
Lisa’s leadership at Eastport has evolved alongside the company. After serving as Chief Financial Officer, she transitioned her focus to Chief Human Resources Officer, bringing a strong financial foundation and genuine understanding of the financial and operational side of the business to her current role. That perspective shapes how she approaches people, structure, resources, and growth. Her focus is on strengthening the organization and its people, improving efficiencies, introducing automation, and building systems and workflows that support Eastport’s continued growth.
At the heart of Lisa’s leadership is a responsibility to both the company and its people. She believes creating an environment where people can succeed and making sound decisions in the company’s best interests go hand in hand.
Outside of work, Lisa’s greatest priority is her family. She enjoys spending time with her husband and adult children whenever she can—whether at the beach or park, playing pickleball, working out at the gym, or simply staying active. It’s a balance that complements the energy, persistence, and determination she brings to her professional life.
