Current Role with lululemon: Manager of Digital Innovation & Culture
I spend my days leading the global strategic direction and execution of all digital innovation initiatives for lululemon athletica! This pretty much means that I have the world’s funnest job. This role pushes the envelope and grows our brand through technological innovation and change. No existing or emerging digital stone is left unturned when I’m around.
I have my dream job and can’t imagine a better place to do it than at lululemon. Here I have the flexibility and support to dream big and to create amazing things each and every day.
I like giving tips, napping, ‘puting, pilates, running on the seawall, savasana, social networking, strategizing, sleeping in, web marketing, consuming social media, hot yoga & photo blogging up a storm. I enjoy short walks on long beaches and short-non-fat-half-sweet-caramel-macchiatos-with-no-whip.
For those of you that know and love StrengthsFinder, mine are: Futuristic, Achiever, Ideation, Activator & Learner.
My ten year goal is to have photo-run every single city street in Toronto.
Above: Meet Sheena, one of my brilliant and hard working co-workers! Each week on the blog our goal is to introduce you to a new member of the lululemon team – someone who works either on our retail floor or behind the scenes at our offices, warehouses, or factories. Today we’d like to introduce Sheena, [...]

Running your first marathon is a challenge that far too few of us attempt. Natalie, one of our design assistants, and Katy, our print designer, went through the months of training necessary to get their bodies in shape for the grueling 26 miles ahead of them. This is the story of their training, their run [...]
