You were just what we needed to kick off the second day, the right amount of inspiration, energy, and information! And even though these topics are not necessarily the easiest to understand or know, how to get started, your gentle take encourages us to take the steps forward. I’m sure our paths will cross again!

Her energy, authenticity, and connection with the crowd make her an invaluable addition to any event, and a rare gem in Finland.

Working with Kamilla is always a pleasure. She hosted our Slush side event in 2023 called Urban Tech Helsinki. She brings so much energy to the team and is ready to go the extra mile in making the event organizers, presenters, and participants feel relaxed with her professionalism. Also, supporting our event comms in her social media was a nice addition, and helped us reach new audiences and leads.

Kamilla Sultanova brought a different perspective and insight from Finland into Canada’s Workforce Development landscape. It was a pleasure to have her as one of First Work’s Future’s Conference 2020 speakers. Regardless of being halfway across the world, Kamilla highlighted our similarities in the challenges of workforce development and brought us some of Finland’s practices in promoting new working culture, experimentation, and collaboration.

Akosua Alagarathnam
Executive Director at First Work, Ontario’s Youth Employment Network

Kamilla and I had an hour-long talk on my global concept. She possesses a very unique global perspective, enabling her to understand the root causes and underlying motivations of issues, allowing her to find innovative solutions and new kinds of questions, particularly in social justice, international cooperation, and inclusive leadership. She thinks globally yet can see the changes needed locally to drive meaningful transformation.
