Unique method for making emotions understood in business life
Turning complex emotions into clear insights, Camilla Tuominen is an awarded and experienced keynote speaker, illustrator, and researcher with a unique approach: combining science, stories, and her own illustrations to transform how organizations understand emotions at work.
Based in Finland, Camilla has delivered over 500 keynotes and was twice awarded Speaker of the Year (Speakersforum 2021, MySpeaker 2022). She was also named Business Influencer of the Year (2019). A TEDx speaker, author, and board member, she holds a Master of Economics and is currently conducting PhD research at Turku School of Economics on emotions in corporate environments.
Her perspective is shaped by a rare mix of experiences: years as a management consultant, founding and successfully exiting an emotion-tech startup, and publishing three acclaimed books on leading emotions. This foundation allows her to bridge hard business realities with the emotional dynamics that drive performance, innovation, and resilience.
Camilla’s keynotes are praised for their originality and impact. By uniting research-based insights, memorable stories, and live illustrations, she makes emotions tangible—challenging leaders to see the invisible forces that shape culture, decision-making, and collaboration. Her sessions not only inspire but also equip organizations with practical tools for leading with emotional intelligence in a rapidly changing world.
