WHAT MY CUSTOMERS SAY

Kamilla created a unique and warm atmosphere at the Kemira Leadership Forum in 2023 with her great personality.

Terhi Kivinen
Chief Communications Officer at Kemira Oyj

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!

Anni Kettunen
Lindström Group

Kamilla brought warmth and good presence to our fiscal year kick-off 2024. She engaged actively with our speakers and our audience of 1000 people online and those in person. We were happy for her way to carry conversations with a natural flow and strong energy!

Kaisa Heikkinen
Brand & Communications Leader at PwC Finland

Kamilla provides a great story and tools around the practical elements related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. She provided really practical tools to take it immediately into action.

Klaas Kerssemakers
Chief Operations Officer (COO) at Anthony Veder

I highly recommend Kamilla Sultanova as a speaker or host for any high level, sector-specific or community event. Kamilla’s dynamic presence and DEI expertise have been essential to the success of the Crush Event series, where she engaged and inspired our audience both as a keynote speaker and host. Her energy, authenticity, and connection with the crowd make her an invaluable addition to any event, and a rare gem in Finland.

Katja Presnal
Co-Founder at Crush Movement

Our wonderful host Kamilla Sultanova filled the room with her light, positivity and very very professional hosting – we made a good choice with you!

Anita Pölönen
Organizer at Talent Boost Lappeenranta 2024

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.

Kaisa Ahonen
Urban Tech Helsinki 2023

Great speech and so many points with different perspectives! That can start an imagination of something good.

Malin Wälitalo-Palo

Kamilla delivered an excellent speech at the Finnish Entrepreneurs event, Get Together 2019 showing the huge role that entrepreneurs have in changing the world.

An inspiring and thought-provoking speaker who brings her expertise on diversity and inclusion to the forefront. Kamilla knows how to engage an audience and keep them on their toes throughout their presentations. A true pleasure to listen to and learn from!

Aicha Manai
CEO at Startup Refugees

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.
