More About Kirstine Stewart:
An inspirational and transformational executive leading change, Kirstine has spent her career at the intersection of media, technology and digital transformation, core drivers of innovation and business growth.
Kirstine was responsible for driving Twitter’s initial entry into Canada, pre-IPO, and was promoted to the corporate leadership in NYC as VP Media NA. As the head of the TV, radio and digital for the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Kirstine pioneered the broadcaster’s foray into digital media, catapulting ratings while delivering $1.1 billion in total revenue. At Alliance Atlantis, a Canadian media company with a large portfolio of lifestyle channels, she delivered 20% growth year-over-year for four consecutive years, positioning the company as an M&A play in which it was sold for $2.3 billion. Recruited to lead international broadcast programming for the Hallmark Channel, encompassing 30 channels and 80 countries, she successfully increased the subscriber base while expanding into new markets, the business was acquired by Sparrowhawk Media for $240 million due to her efforts.
In her last role, Kirstine headed the Future of Media, Entertainment and Sport for the World Economic Forum and was a member of the executive committee. She also serves as an advisor to the Forum’s Young Global Leaders initiative.
Kirstine is the author of Our Turn, an award winning, best seller focused on leadership published by Penguin RandomHouse.

Our Turn VIP is a course and community, inviting people to take control of their careers by building a playbook that guides them to leverage their unique strengths and not compromise to “fit in”. Like the book Our Turn was; it’s the anti Lean In, because it acknowledges we face challenges not of our making when trying to navigate our work.
