Background

About Alyson Bilinski

I’m a strategic, execution-driven finance executive with over 20 years of experience — including 12+ years leading high-performing teams across Financial Reporting, Accounting, Treasury, Tax, Risk Management & Insurance, and Operations Finance. Over the course of my career, I’ve advanced through progressively senior roles in both public and private companies, including more than a decade at Enerplus, a dual-listed E&P company. There, I led teams across the full finance lifecycle, managed global insurance programs, drove ERP and process transformations, and partnered with executives and boards on complex financial and strategic initiatives. In parallel with my corporate work, I am also a small business owner. I own a pharmacy in West Springs, where I’ve overseen all aspects of the business — from financing and operations to staffing, compliance, and strategic growth. This entrepreneurial experience complements my corporate background by sharpening my commercial instincts and reinforcing my passion for building businesses and teams. What I’m known for: Building and keeping great teams – I create an environment of clarity, trust, and results. People enjoy working for me, and many follow me from role to role. Strategic depth + technical fluency – From IFRS and SOX to capital planning and risk transfer, I operate seamlessly from the boardroom to the audit file. Business-first mindset – I bring more than just financial discipline. I understand operations, markets, and the importance of customer experience — and I always act with enterprise value in mind. Independent, entrepreneurial leadership – I thrive when I can take ownership, lead from the front, and bring vision into execution. Outside of work, I’m passionate about volunteering and mentorship, giving back to my profession and industry. I believe that strong leadership lifts others — and that finance, when done right, fuels not just performance, but purpose.
