Economist, public servant and founder of the Holistic Wealth movement, Keisha Blair was honoured in WXN’s 2026 Top 100 in the Professionals category, linking a career shaped in Jamaica and Canada.
Keisha Blair was named to WXN’s Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 for 2026 in the Professionals category.
Her career spans Canadian public service—where she served as a Senior Advisor at the Privy Council Office—and entrepreneurship as founder of the Holistic Wealth movement.
She traces her education to Immaculate Conception High School and the University of the West Indies, then continued graduate studies at Carleton University and Harvard Kennedy School.

She described the award as representing "a journey between two countries that have both profoundly shaped my life."
