SPEAKER BIO

Julie Stevanja

Founder and Brand Director

Stylerunner

Julie Stevanja is the co-founder of the go-to destination for women’s activewear, Stylerunner.

Founded in 2012 after a stint in London working for Streaming Video On-Demand site, Mubi, Stevanja identified a gap in the women's market for a dedicated destination for premium designer activewear brands.

Her assessment proved right and today Stylerunner is a leader in the women’s multi-label active and athleisurewear category.

Accolades collected by Stevanja and Stylerunner include:

  • Young Retail Entrepreneur of the Year, World Retail Congress in 2016 (winner)
  • Women in Digital 2016 (winner)
  • Winner in Tech, B&T 2015 (winner)
  • Veuve Clicquot New Generation Award (finalist)

In 2019, Stylerunner was acquired through administration by one of Australia’s leading retail groups, Accent Group. Julie remains on board to help lead the business through its next phase of growth, including the rollout of Stylerunner’s first ever Brick & Mortar stores.
