Ekaterina Kamenskaya — CTO
I am a former Google engineering leader with 17+ years in tech, team leadership, and community building, now dedicated to helping people and organizations grow through emotional intelligence, creativity, and authentic connection. At Google, I managed teams of up to 13 people, improved productivity and quality for products like YouTube, and led two large communities (Education and Diversity & Inclusion), organizing 50+ events annually for both Googlers and external audiences. I also facilitated flagship trainings including Search Inside Yourself (emotional intelligence based on mindfulness and neuroscience), Life Design, Strength Finder, Wellbeing, and programs I created myself, such as Research-Based Ways to Achieve Happiness and Human Connection workshops. As a certified coach, and conscious movement & somatic facilitator, I integrate research, psychology, and somatics into my work—helping people build resilience, emotional awareness, and meaningful collaboration. Over the years I have delivered talks at schools and universities (e.g. ETH Zürich), keynotes at technical conferences, and trainings worldwide. Today, I provide programs and workshops that bring together science, creativity, and embodiment to foster well-being, leadership, and innovation in individuals, teams, and organizations.
