Jacob Lärfors, previously CEO & Founder, Verifa

Carole was a huge part of how we built our culture and brand. She brought structure, creativity, and commercial thinking to everything she did, from marketing to internal company events to community initiatives. She made sure our events were well planned and backed by smart marketing, turning them into growth and visibility, instead of just one-off activities.

Luise Schafer OBE, Chair, The British Chamber of Commerce Shanghai (2009-2011)

Carole was a key reason the events at the British Chamber of Commerce Shanghai were so successful. She combined clear thinking with a calm persona and flawless delivery, making our programme feel professional and valuable for members. From senior roundtables to major awards, she regularly turned ideas into high-impact experiences. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.

TESTIMONIALS

Jane Besong-Ndika, Head of Operations, Bloom Helsinki

Carole has been a great support in building the Helsinki chapter of Bloom. From brainstorming ideas, creating structure, coordinating partners, and promotion, she has helped us create meaningful experiences that connect internationals and locals. Her dedication, reliability, and collaborative approach have been invaluable in growing our community.

Tessa Rennie, General Manager, Imaginate

Carole was highly effective in her role and as a direct result, Imaginate has developed a strong reputation for organising and hosting high quality events. She is an extremely effective planner who can galvanise a diverse team and ensure that plans are communicated clearly and roles are defined. She is a quietly confident individual who always manages to make an effective contribution, getting results without ruffling feathers.

Manuela Mareva-Forsell, Chair, International Working Women of Finland (IWWOF)

One of the best event planners I have ever worked with. Carole delivered a world-class event with a level of professionalism, precision, and polish that truly exceeded all expectations. She navigates complexity with confidence, solves challenges proactively, and consistently raises the bar for what “great” looks like. Simply put, Carole is amazing to work with — a true professional and trusted partner who turns ambitious ideas into memorable, high-impact experiences.

Anna Pogrebniak, Founder, The Awesome Marketers

Carole has led the Awesome Marketers events for years. She brings in great speakers, but more importantly creates warm, welcoming experiences for newcomers and our awesome marketers. Fully independent, she runs everything A to Z, coordinates volunteers, logistics, comms and promotion. Proactive, creative and kind. I absolutely love collaborating with her. 🧡

Lari Numminen, Founder, Generate More

Carole brought the real personal touch to in-person events. Every detail was considered, including small touches that made the whole evening feel personal and memorable. But what mattered most is that it worked. We walked away with real conversations and warm follow-ups we wouldn't have gotten through cold outreach. Working with her was a breeze. Highly recommend.

Vladislav Dobrokhotov, Executive Director, British & Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce in Finland

Carole’s contribution was central to the visit’s success. [She] served as a mobile office across twelve events in four different cities, managing logistics, communications, and last-minute contingencies with exceptional professionalism… thanks to Carole’s calm efficiency and meticulous attention to detail, the entire programme ran seamlessly.
