Amadea Camozzi

Biography

I have always had an interest in changing the world. At a young age, I got involved my local Social Justice Committee where I aimed to raise consciousness around global challenges and to awaken my peer’s empathy for their global neighbours. I pursued a Bachelor of Arts at McGill University in Honours International Development and completed a 3-month internship in Honduras. There, my team and I supported a group of female entrepreneurs to launch their own boutique to sell their products.

Professionally, I have worked with nonprofits to develop social entrepreneurship programs to support their financial autonomy. I worked with a Montreal-based food security organization, Santropol Roulant, to establish and grow diverse revenue generating programs. I was also a part of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada team creating events to mobilize their community.

In 2017, I completed my MBA at HEC Montréal with a focus on social enterprises. Today, I work at e180, a B Corp that aims to change the way humans learn. We work primarily with events to deploy our Braindate solution to allow their participants to learn from one another. We are also working closing with certain organizations to change their workplaces into learn places.

I am looking forward to meeting the wonderful community at Skoll. When I’m not talking about social entrepreneurship, I am known to wax poetically about food, travel, Beyonce and Netflix documentaries. Je suis aussi bilingue, évidement !
