In celebration of UPEI’s 50th anniversary, join us for an inspiring talk by alumna Dr. Leslie Steele, DVM ’97 CEO, CBS Animal Hospital, Kenmount Road Animal Hospital and Virtual Vet Solutions. Lunch (pizza) is provided.

Lesley is a veterinarian, a serial entrepreneur, a visionary, and a graduate of the Wallace McCain Entrepreneurial Leadership program. She successfully owned and operated the Eastern Passage Village Veterinary Hospital for 16 years until its sale 5 years ago, and currently co-owns CBS Animal Hospital and Kenmount Road Animal Hospital in NL. She is licensed to practice in NL and NB. She founded Vet Alliance Inc in 2009 and retired from the company in 2018. Lesley and her team grew Vet Alliance to be largest of its kind in Canada. She is always exploring new business opportunities and has started a company offering veterinary related services to practice owners in the USA.

 

Exemplary customer service and having an amazing work culture are her greatest areas of interest. She describes herself as a serial entrepreneur, but believes in having fun. She is passionate about adventure tourism, and has created opportunity to organize trips around the world. Finding the balance between work, family, and personal time can be a challenge but she is having fun trying!
