I was never here to be
ordinary!
ENTREPRENEUR · LEADER · PHILANTHROPIST · CANADA'S WINE QUEEN
I’m Kate Holden. I build bold businesses, create unforgettable experiences, lead with heart, and take everything I touch #OneLevelExtra.
I’m a Winnipeg entrepreneur who believes success should feel as good as it looks. I’ve spent more than 15 years building brands, leading teams and proving that business can be ambitious, deeply human and wildly memorable at the same time.
As the founder of The Pourium, I’m reimagining how people discover and experience wine. Through Entrepreneurs’ Organization, I’ve helped lead a national community of entrepreneurs across Canada. And as President of The Dream Factory, I help lead an organization that brings dreams to life for children facing life-threatening illnesses—creating moments where, even for a little while, the hard stuff disappears and they get to just be kids.
I’m not interested in blending in, checking boxes or doing anything “just because that’s how it’s always been done.” I colour outside the lines, question the rules and lead with curiosity instead of judgment.
A builder of
businesses, people, moments—and
possibility.

KATE HOLDEN • ONE LEVEL EXTRA
I've spent the last 15+ years building businesses, leading entrepreneurs, making mistakes, celebrating wins, and collecting stories that people somehow keep asking me to tell.
Whether I'm talking about entrepreneurship, leadership, branding, wine, or what really happens behind the scenes, I want people to leave with one thing: A different way of thinking.
And hopefully a few laughs along the way.

when it’s shared.
