DEI Speaker
Inspiring DEI speaker
Are you looking for an engaging and passionate DEI speaker for your next event? With a wealth of experience as a former Head of DEI, I bring insightful and convincing talks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that resonate with any audience, especially leaders and managers.
My talks are grounded in my professional experience and the valuable lessons I've learned from leading DEI initiatives. As an experienced speaker, I have delivered over 50 keynotes and public speeches on DEI to diverse audiences both in Finland and internationally.
My approach is pragmatic and actionable, offering practical examples of integrating DEI into an organisation’s business, core processes, and culture. I explain these often complex topics in a language that a business leader understands and a way they can relate to. I share tips from my own DEI journey in leading organisational change and highlight how to avoid common pitfalls in DEI work.
"Heidi's approach is both professional and pleasantly energetic. During the panel she engaged in spontaneous discussion building on the insights from the other panelists, which shows her deep understanding of the wider context."
Petra Rosvall, M-Files

"Heidi is an engaging and insightful keynote speaker.

She also offers fresh perspectives and inspires her audience to think about DEI in new, transformative ways."
