Christine Day, CEO of Luvo and former CEO of Lululemon Athletica, headlines the first Dean’s Speaker Series of 2017 on January 18th. The Dean’s Speaker Series is designed to provide students with a unique opportunity to hear first-hand stories and advice from a variety of successful business professionals, including their insights on life, leadership and business.

For the first time ever, we will also be inviting alumni to attend this event. A networking reception will follow Christine’s presentation, which will be a fantastic opportunity for you to connect with UBC Sauder alumni and grow your professional network.
We are excited to host Christine, who is an excellent example of innovative leadership. She is at the helm of Luvo, a forward-thinking food company creating the next generation of frozen food with a focus on great taste, convenience and most importantly, nutrition. Christine brings her executive leadership experience to Luvo from Lululemon Athletica, where she served as CEO for six years. During her tenure, the company grew in revenue from $290 million to $1.6 billion and became the most profitable retail apparel company in the world.

Christine has been honoured as one of Fast Company’s “100 Most Creative People in Business” and leader of a “50 Most Innovative Companies”. She was selected by the Stevie Awards for Women in Business as “Female Executive of the Year in Canada” and “Innovator of the Year” in 2015. Christine has been selected as one of Fortune Magazine’s top five – “International Most Powerful Women”, “Canada’s Top 100 Women” and named “CEO of the Year” by the Globe and Mail and Business in Vancouver.
