As Chief Information Officer of lululemon, Julie Averill led the technology transformation that helped scale the company from $2 billion to over $10 billion in revenue while building global teams capable of sustaining that growth. Prior to lululemon, she led omnichannel and digital transformations at Nordstrom and REI, navigating system failures, high-stakes crises, and the complicated work of integrating technology with business strategy at scale.
Today, she advises boards, CEOs, and foundersat the intersection of AI capability and organizational readiness - the place where most transformations stall. She speaks globally on leadership in the age of AI and helps organizations build what technology can't deliver: teams that tell the truth, leaders who can turn pilots into real change, and cultures that sustain transformation instead of performing it. She is the author of Chief Impact Officer.
Vaishali has been working in the media industry & Journalism for more than 14 years. She had her own CEO talk show on Bloomberg TV India called Biz Lounge, a show that she anchored and produced. Biz Lounge explored the business aspects of each company, as well as the company's leadership, corporate culture, as well as each leader's personal side including how he/she spent their free time.
Prior to that, she worked as a Management Consultant in the finance industry in New York City. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Management with a concentration in Finance and her Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology.
