Meet our Speaker, Amelia Warren!
Amelia is the CEO of Epicure, a direct-selling company that is dedicated to bettering the lives of families through healthy meal solutions that go from raw-to-ready in 20 minutes or less. She is the founder of the Good Food. Real Fast.™ Movement, and is on a mission to give every person the knowledge, skills, and tools to cook and eat well for a lifetime of good health.
For Amelia, thinking critically about food started with an obvious teacher: her mom. Sylvie Rochette founded Epicure with the mindset that "if you want to be healthy, you have to cook”. Amelia joined Epicure in 2006 with a passion for food and corporate social responsibility. By 2009 she was CEO and had a new socially conscious vision for the company.
After 13 years as CEO, she is grateful for her mother’s mentorship which has inspired her to give back and support other female leaders. Amelia was recently recognized as one of British Columbia’s top 40 under 40 Business Leaders and was featured in BC Business Magazine for winning the 2022 Business of Good Awards for Community Involvement.
