One of Canada's "Most Powerful Women" has joined the Whistler Blackcomb board of directors. Michele Romanow — named one of Women's Executive Network's top-100 most powerful women last year — was appointed to the board on June 23. Romanow is a senior marketing executive with Snap by Groupon and the co-founder of Buytopia.ca and SnapSaves, two leading e-commerce companies. She has also served as the director of corporate strategy and business improvement for Sears Canada. "Michele brings a new perspective, as well as deep knowledge in e-commerce, digital marketing, data analytics and brand management, which will complement the existing strengths of our board," said Graham Savage, chair of the Whistler Blackcomb board of directors in a press release. "We are very pleased to have Michele join our board and look forward to her contribution to our long term growth." Romanow holds a Bachelors of Science in Engineering and a Master of Business Administration from Queen's University. In 2013 she was profiled in Forbes' top-20 "Millennials on a Mission," which focuses on young professionals working hard to make a difference in their fields.
