Christine Sperber
Co-founder and Chief Experience Officer
Christine Sperber is chief architect of the embodied, experiential aspects of our workshops and programs. She is a former World Cup snowboarder and serial entrepreneur who has launched and grown successful hotels, businesses, and industry-evolving ideas in the sports and hospitality worlds and beyond. The word her workshop participants use most often to describe her is “badass” in recognition of her irrepressible energy and ability to make shit happen.
Christine has managed pro athletes and world-class snowboard camps. She has founded award-winning hotels and innovated game-changing hospitality concepts. She introduced the first machine-groomed half pipes on glacial snow when no one else thought it could be done. She has created sporting event series that are still happening decades later and worn the hats of writer, restaurateur, multimillion dollar sales rep, and more.
As MEA co-founders, Christine and Chip worked together to turn the idea of a Modern Elder Academy into a reality. She is a devoted team builder whose authenticity, values-based leadership skills, and empathetic engagement create community wherever she focuses her attention. She is a passionate activist and steward of the land and is dedicated to creating transformative experiences that change people’s lives. She makes everything she gets involved in more fun, more meaningful, and more human.
“As we age, it’s important to continue to play games we aren’t sure we can win.”
