Carole graduated from McGill with a B.A. in Political Science in 1983.

Throughout her 25 year career she was responsible for strategic planning, marketing, and product development for a national chain of 275 stores. In 2007 Carole transitioned from the fashion world to embark on a new retail challenge in the beauty industry. She successfully introduced Bath & Body Works (NYSE:LB) to the Canadian market with record breaking sales results. She spent the next 4 years building the brand, the team and expanding the chain to 70 stores across Canada. In addition to her contribution in launching and building retail brands in Canada Carole is a member of the Global Strategy and Leadership Expert Panel at McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management where she guest lectures as well as judges business case competitions and acts as a mentor for MBA students.
