Christina Crowley-Arklie, Chief Idea Executor + Founder behind Crowley + Arklie Strategy & Co.
Christina is a communicator, connector and cultivator who believes communications is the most important skill we possess as human beings. Christina’s why is to elevate communicators as leaders – in how we convey who we are, what we stand for, the ideas that impact others, and how we relate and connect to others. Because that is how business is done and makes the world go round - by connecting with others, relating to a cause and working collectively together on ‘the why.’
At Crowley + Arklie Strategy & Co., we’re transforming the way brands, businesses, executives and leaders communicate to lead and lead to communicate..

She’s worked with political heavyweights, fortune 500 companies, start-ups, best selling authors, titans of industry, thought leaders, small businesses and individuals, helping them all with the same thing: communicating.
Christina’s farm-raised upbringing in the country, established her love at an early age for communicating, people and finding something in common to share that passion with others. She learned how to market and story tell from her cows and her family’s farm, Crovalley Holsteins, teaching Christina the firsthand importance of how to stand out in a unique way to catch the attention of others.
Christina is a sought-after speaker, thought leader and writer about communications, agriculture-food and entrepreneurship, particularly with a love for helping women in business. An active advocate for Canada’s food system, she founded FoodCommon, a platform and community for Canadians to share, celebrate and discuss the one thing we all have in common as humans: food.
