Catherine Warren, the much-fèted COO of Vancouver-based Blue Zone Inc, has decided to leave the company. Warren joined Blue Zone in that capacity in 1999 and helped guide the company through its IPO, as well as securing contracts with CTV. She remained with the company until this month, and will continue to work with it as an executive advisor. Warren is a veteran of the media establishment, and was chosen as one of the top five pioneeers for the Canadian Women in New Media Awards. She is a board member of the Women’s Television Network Foundation and of the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund. She has also served as a director of the Canadian Coalition for Women in Engineering Science & Technology. Warren has not yet publicly stated her next move.
