Health Entrepreneur | Governance Leader | Published Author
Demetra Dimokopoulos is a multidisciplinary professional whose career spans health entrepreneurship, governance, and thought leadership. She holds a double major in Psychology and Professional Writing & Communication from the University of Toronto Mississauga. Her debut book, Exposed (2006), emerged from her academic work and investigates one of the 20th century’s most devastating occupational and environmental disasters: the global distribution of asbestos-contaminated vermiculite insulation by W.R. Grace & Co. Sourced from the company’s mine in Libby, Montana, the vermiculite contained tremolite asbestos, exposing workers, residents, and consumers to serious health risks. Dimokopoulos’ compelling account of the Libby tragedy earned her the 2007 AllBooks Editor’s Choice Award for non-fiction.
In 2015, Dimokopoulos earned her MBA from Copenhagen Business School (CBS), specializing in leadership, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. During her time in Denmark, she collaborated with CBS and the Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship to develop business case studies for global MBA audiences. Her work has been published by Ivey Publishing and the Harvard Business Review.
From 2017 to 2023, she served on the Board of Directors for the University of Toronto Mississauga Alumni Association. She also contributed to the University of Toronto’s College of Electors and its Nominating Committee for Alumni Governors (2018–2022), including a term on the Executive Committee (2020–2022).
In May 2023, Dimokopoulos was elected as a Bencher of the Law Society of Ontario (LSO), joining its Board of Directors to help shape policy and governance for Ontario’s legal professionals. In June 2025, she completed her term as an Adjudicator for the Law Society Tribunal (2023–2025) and now sits on the LSO’s Proceedings Authorization Committee.
Beyond her governance work, Dimokopoulos is the founder of a health-focused business dedicated to empowering women and girls. As a Registered Health Coach and certified fitness trainer, she helps working moms and their tween daughters build confidence, strength, and wellness from the inside out.
