About Krista Kelloway

I love to create, collaborate and make things happen. An experienced producer and media executive with over 15 years' experience, I have supervised programming of all sorts: animation (PSI COPS, SUMMONERS WAR SHORT), documentary (ROBERT KIRKMAN'S SECRET HISTORY OF COMICS, EMERGENCY ROOM: LIFE + DEATH AT VGH), indie film (ENTANGLEMENT, MOUNTAIN MEN, TAMING TAMMY, POP SWITCH), live-to-tape (THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF VANCOUVER: REUNION SHOW), lifestyle (SMART COOKIES, ANNA & KRISTINA'S GROCERY BAG), and reality tv formats (THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF VANCOUVER plus cross-over collaboration with TOP CHEF CANADA). A naturally curious and creative leader, I take pride while elevating teams to meet even their most ambitious goals. Previously responsible for casting Canada's Most Eligible Bachelor and Top 25 Bachelorettes (THE BACHELOR CANADA: SEASON 2), a small team and I successfully tackled our mission in only two months. Adept at managing large teams, production crews and on-camera talent. I excel in areas of communication, strategic planning and problem-solving. My greatest strength is collaborating with a team to deliver top notch programming/visual content on time and within budget. I adore any opportunity to develop talent and teams while helping create an empowered environment for collaboration.
