ABOUT STEPHEN LOPES
As Partner and National Gi3 Growth Leader at Deloitte, I help organisations—from high-growth startups to global enterprises—unlock capital and accelerate outcomes through tax incentives, grants, and innovation funding.Our practice supports over 1,200 clients per year, securing more than $1B annually in non-dilutive financing across Canada. We serve as a strategic partner to companies investing in R&D, expanding internationally, or scaling operations—all while navigating increasingly complex regulatory environments.Internally, I serve on Deloitte’s Tax & Legal Technology Steering Committee and act as Business Sponsor for GenAI adoption, shaping how our 1,500+ person Tax & Legal practice evolves with transformative technologies.Beyond Deloitte, I am an active early-stage investor and business advisor, backing and guiding founders through key inflection points—from capital raise to commercialisation to exit.Above all, I’m a proud husband and father to two boys, energised by opportunities to build, scale, and support others—whether it’s teams, technologies, or emerging ventures.
