Meet our Copenhagen Board - The Women of Tomorrow
Sophia Burri (she/her)
Chairwoman
Sophia looks Danish, sounds Norwegian, and thinks Silicon Valley, but is Swiss. In fact, she helped build the first femella hub in Zurich and founded femella Cph when relocating there.
Next to leading the CPH team, Sophia is undertaking her MSc in International Business & Politics at CBS and works as a Junior Consultant at PA Consulting.
You might think this girl’s day must have more than 24 hours. Apparently so, because on top of all this, Sophia finds time to play tennis/padel, join running clubs, and explore all the hyggelig cafés in the city.
Julie Møllebjerg (she/her)
Vice-Chairwoman & Head of Community
A mix of boundless positive-energy and social-butterfly, Julie is our members’ go-to-person.
She is currently completing her MSc in Business Administration and Corporate Communication at CBS, alongside working as a marketing manager at a startup at the intersection of sports, tech, and data.
Speaking of sports - that’s a big part of Julie’s life too. Whether she’s playing or cheering from the sidelines, this girl is all in!
Louise Damgaard Rask (she/her)
Head of Event Coordination
If you can’t get enough of our events, you’re most probably a fan of Louise’s work!
Louise just graduated with a MSc in Public Health Science from the University of Aarhus and recently moved to Copenhagen. This is by no means the first big move for Louise, as she also spent an exchange semester in Brighton, England.
In her freetime, you’ll find Louise outside, wearing either running shoes or a hiking backpack. But as a health expert, she knows: that when calories are burned, some must also be consumed! Luckily, she is a true foodie, who loves to explore new cultures and cuisines.
Lea Mainz (she/her)
Head of Learn Events
If you want to attract and recruit talent from our femella community, you might want to plan a “learn” event with Lea.
To boost her own learning, Lea is completing a MSc in International Marketing & Management at CBS and applying her knowledge as a Student Assistant in Global Marketing.
If Danish weather allows it, Lea is out running or race-biking. But she also knows how to deal with bad weather. Her favourites? Escaping to Germany (her home country) or living her best granny life with hot chocolate, crocheting, and listening to crime podcasts.
Head of Connect Events
Oda Solend (she/her)
Oda’s work is at the heart of femella: providing young women with a professional network that propels their careers.
Her own international network stems from bachelor studies in Trondheim (Norway), an exchange semester in Brisbane (Australia), and current master studies in International Business & Politics at CBS. Besides that, Oda is working as a Student Assistant at Novo Nordisk.
The events Oda organises look much like her own free time: from sports, arts, and crafts activities to cozy get-togethers with friends and family.
Anna Larsena (she/her)
Head of Grow Events
Organizing our large-scale, public “grow event” is our power girl, Anna’s project.
Anna is undertaking her MSc in Business Administration & Data Science while working as a Student Assistant at Novo Nordisk. This fall semester, however, she is enjoying the beauty of Munich whilst on exchange at LMU.
Anna spends her spare time experimenting with new cooking recipes, travel destinations, and sports activities. Why limit yourself when you can do it all, right?
Iryna Yarmolenko (she/her)
Head of Finance
Woman in finance, 5 ft 3, Ukrainian, trustworthy - that’s our finance-sis Iryna!
After getting her engineering degree, Iryna started a MSc in Accounting, Strategy & Control at CBS whilst working as a Student Assistant at Novo Nordisk.
If you think that’s already impressive, here’s more: as a language enthusiast, Iryna speaks five languages and runs marathons in her free time. This girl is unstoppable!
Head of Partnerships
Louise Dalgaard Ottesen (she/her)
If you want to sponsor or collaborate with us, Louise is all ears!
As if a MSc in Digital Innovation & Management at the IT-University of Denmark was not nerdy enough, Louise also specialised in Blockchain. Right now, she is embarking on a new journey as a Consultant within Accenture’s delivery excellence team.
In her sparetime, Louise enjoys doing Yoga, Pilates, or strength training. She also loves to cook and bake plant-based food - and sometimes it even turns out well!
Janine Alder (she/her)
Head of Communications & Legal
Overseeing our communications, legal, and stakeholder activities, there’s nothing Janine can’t handle!
Her diverse skillset stems from work and study experiences across Switzerland, Denmark, the UK, and the US. At the moment, Janine is completing her MSc in Organisation, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and is working as a Student Assistant at Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping.
Although her hobbies vary from location to location, in Copenhagen, Janine is a social butterfly, gathering friends for get-togethers and running clubs - if for the running or the pastries afterward, one shall not know.
Olivia Danielsen (she/her)
Head of Marketing
If you felt inspired by our Instagram, that’s the work of our adventure and marketing guru, Olivia. Her marketing magic isn’t just about likes and shares; it's about building a community where everyone feels like they belong.
Olivia just graduated with a MSc in Sales Management from CBS. Her studies brought her to Hawaii and Milan, and she also engaged in work and travel in Australia and Bali.
In her free time, she travels, dives, and hikes around the world. No need for travel agencies, Olivia is your girl!
