Season 1: She Led as CEO for 6 Months Without Knowing If She'd Get It

Tyler Chisholm sits down with Jennifer Lussier, newly appointed CEO of Platform Calgary, who spent six months leading the organisation as interim while officially going through the hiring process for the role. She raised her hand for every opportunity along the way, from advisor to partnerships to COO, before stepping in when the previous CEO departed. In this episode, Jennifer talks about what it actually felt like to apply for a job she was already doing, how she reframed her final board presentation to show a side of herself the board had never seen, and why the moment her team came back wearing "Vote for Jen" stickers was the best of her career. She also shares how she is building a culture where everyone at Platform is a leader, and what leading an organisation designed for uncertainty actually demands of the person at the top.
