STARS air ambulance is pleased to announce that today STARS President and CEO Andrea Robertson has been named a Women’s Executive Network’s (WXN) 2014 Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Award Winner.

The Top 100 Awards recognize Canada’s strong, fearless female leaders who have become agents of change in reshaping Canadian organizations at the highest levels. Andrea joins an elite group of Top 100 Award Winners that includes some of Canada’s most iconic women trailblazers, such as Dr. Roberta Bondar, astronaut, Arlene Dickinson, chief executive officer, Venture Communications, Christine Magee, president, Sleep Country Canada, Kathleen Taylor, chair of the board, Royal Bank of Canada and Michaëlle Jean, former governor general of Canada.

“We are fortunate to have such strong and inspiring leadership at STARS,” said Scott Young, STARS vice president of aviation. “Andrea has guided our organization from three bases in Alberta, to six across Western Canada, while maintaining our team’s focus on safety, high quality and compassionate patient care within a challenging helicopter EMS environment.”

Robertson joined STARS as president and COO in 2011 and was appointed as CEO on April 4, 2012. Prior to STARS, Robertson served in a variety of health-care leadership roles including senior vice president and chief nursing officer at Alberta Health Services and vice president for the Foothills Medical Centre and Alberta Children’s Hospital.

Co-Presented by Scotiabank and KPMG, the Top 100 Awards celebrate and highlight professional achievements of women across the country in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors at a time when corporate Canada is undergoing pressure to promote more female leaders into board and executive office positions.

“Despite ever-changing styles and tastes, great leadership is timeless,” says WXN founder, Pamela Jeffery. “Top 100 Award Winners are a testament to the incredible range of female talent and leadership in Canada and proof that change is happening, with more women earning a place at the highest levels of Canadian organizations.” The full list of WXN’s 2014 Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Award Winners can be found at https://www.wxnetwork.com/top-100/top-100-winners/.
