Ms. Catherine Metrycki

Founder & CEO , Callia Flowers

Catherine Metrycki is the Founder and CEO of Callia Flowers. She is proudly born-and-raised in Winnipeg and holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing) from the University of British Columbia.

Catherine sits on the board of the Manitoba Technology Accelerator and is a mentor through the Start-Up Visa program, bringing entrepreneurs from around the world to Manitoba. She is passionate about coaching and development, both within the business community and in the pool, as a water polo coach. She has taught Sales and Marketing at the University of Manitoba and Red River College. She is also the proud mom of a one-year-old, her “second” child after Callia!

Callia does flowers differently. Founded in 2017, venture capital-backed Callia has grown rapidly from its roots in Winnipeg and now delivers in more than 55 cities across Canada. Their commitment to a seamless, delightful experience has won a loyal following of customers based on a simple recipe: high-touch online ordering, limited high-quality seasonal options, perfect delivery, and a signature blue box. Callia was featured on CBC Dragons’ Den in both 2019 and 2021, and was named the 44th fastest growing company in Canada through the Globe and Mail’s Top Growing Companies in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Most recently, it was also recognized by the Great Place to Work certification program as one of the Best Workplaces in Canada.
