Alicia Planincic

Economist

Alicia is an Economist at the Business Council of Alberta. She plays a crucial role in designing policy research and identifying actionable insights. She brings experience in data analytics, a passion for effective prose, and a fresh perspective of economics.

Her career trajectory began with the serendipitous experience of being accidentally assigned a study hall in a classroom for economics, and the rest unfolded from there—she studied economics at Miami University, spent several years digging into data to better understand consumers for P&G, and later completed her MAT in economics education at the University of Georgia. Most recently, she reveled in the challenge of teaching college-level economics to high school students.

Now, she has the rare opportunity to combine these disparate skills and experiences in a way that is deeply meaningful and wildly fun, to increase prosperity for all.

A small-town girl with a big appetite for adventure, she is commonly found running the Bow river or lost between the aisles of the econ, psych, and history sections of Central library looking for her next read.

New to Alberta, she aspires to ensure that Alberta is a place to dream, boldly tackle challenges, and, thrive, a place we all proudly call home.
