So excited to highlight another interesting person who’s making the world a better place for all of you- my fearless friends! My guest is Julie Savard-Shaw. Well, what an impressive bio! She’s making a difference in a big way. Let me tell you about her:
Julie Savard-Shaw brings a tremendous background in advancing gender equality and women's rights from an intersectional lens.
As an advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honorable Justin Trudeau, she spearheaded Canada's first Feminist International Assistance Policy and helped lead the Canada-US Council for the Advancement of Women Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders. During her tenure at the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, the Honorable Chrystia Freeland, Julie oversaw the Task Force on Women in the Economy.
Outside of government, Julie developed from the ground up multiple national engagement campaigns.
