Keynote Speaker: Olympic Downhill Ski Champion & Leadership Expert; Three-Time Olympian for Canada; Founder of VivoResorts; Author of "HOW to WIN" Series

Cary Mullen Biography

Cary Mullen is a Canadian three-time Olympian and World Cup Downhill Ski Champion known for his competitive approach to alpine racing. Mullen achieved a World Cup win in Aspen, narrowly surpassing Norwegian ski competitor Atle Skaardal. During the same season, he set a world record for the fastest recorded speed in a World Cup downhill—151 kilometres per hour—at the Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel, Austria. Mullen competed in 75 World Cup races and represented Canada at three Olympic Games: Albertville, Lillehammer, and Nagano, although injury prevented him from competing in Nagano.

Mullen's career was shaped by resilience and determination. Before gaining recognition as a skier, Mullen was not considered a prodigy but utilized his five winning secrets to become a two-time Olympian and World Champion. Over 11 years as a leader on the National Ski Team, he overcame three serious crashes that resulted in double vision and memory loss, ultimately regaining full health. He was named Canadian Male Skier of the Year twice and was nominated for the Johnny F. Bassett Sports & Community Award. Mullen was later inducted into the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame in the Alpine category.

Following his retirement from competitive skiing, Mullen became an author, business leader, and motivational speaker. He served as a corporate trainer and sales manager for Dale Carnegie Training, authored the "HOW to WIN" series of books, and founded the HOW to WIN Success System. As a motivational speaker, Mullen was recognized by Successful Meetings Magazine. His keynote presentations draw from his athletic background, offering insights on leadership, performance, and strategy for corporate audiences.

Mullen has also pursued entrepreneurship, beginning with real estate investing during his athletic career and later founding several real estate ventures. He leads a real estate investment company and a resort development company, VivoResorts, based in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Mullen conducted extensive research across 30 countries, traveling to 15 and evaluating more than 40 factors to select the location for his resort. He has served as an Olympic commentator for CTV, Canada's largest privately owned TV network, advancing from analyst to commentator for the Vancouver Winter Games.

As a community leader, Mullen founded two charitable foundations and served on the Board of Directors for the National Olympic Development Association and the National High-Performance Advisory Committee. He has supported young athletes through the Cary Mullen Character Awards. Mullen's career reflects the importance of perseverance, innovation, and continuous improvement in sports, business, and leadership.
