Ellie Ponders
Senior Director of Global Corporate Engagement
The Humane League
Ellie Ponders is the Senior Director of Global Corporate Engagement at The Humane League (THL). She leads a talented team of corporate negotiators and campaigners focused on a single mission: to free every hen from her cage. She has the privilege of working alongside hundreds of passionate activists in the Open Wing Alliance.
Ellie became an animal rights activist as an angsty teenager growing up in Ottawa, Ontario. She dropped out of highschool to protest outside a fur store all day, every day -- in what would become Canada's first ever successful campaign to shut down a fur store. Ellie has handed out oodles of vegan outreach materials, run a sexual violence support centre, answered hundreds of middle-of-the-night crisis counselling calls, and forced some of the world's biggest food companies to do the right thing.
