🌟 Meet Our Second Speaker: Kristel Kruustük 🌟

We're delighted to welcome Kristel Kruustük, Founder and Board Director of Testlio, as our second speaker at the BECC Executive Women's Dinner!

Kristel founded Testlio in 2013 after experiencing first-hand the frustrations of freelance software testing platforms. From those early days in London, she's built Testlio into a global leader in managed testing, trusted by brands like PayPal, Uber and Arsenal to deliver seamless digital experiences across more than 150 countries.

Beyond Testlio, Kristel is a passionate angel investor backing female-led companies and a strong voice for closing the funding gap facing women founders.

We can't wait to hear her story of building a global tech company from Estonia, and her perspective on what it takes to back the next generation of women entrepreneurs. 🚀

🌟 Meet our first speaker: President Kersti Kaljulaid 🌟

We're thrilled to open our speaker lineup for the BECC Executive Women's Dinner with a truly historic figure — Kersti Kaljulaid, former President of Estonia 🇪🇪✨

Kaljulaid served as Estonia's fifth president between 2016 and 2021, becoming the country's first female head of state since independence in 1918 and its youngest ever president at just 46. Before taking office, she represented Estonia at the European Court of Auditors, and since leaving the presidency, she has co-founded the President Kaljulaid Foundation, advancing democracy and supporting the vulnerable.

We can't wait to welcome Kersti to share her insight, leadership journey and perspective on the evolving role of women at the top table. 🥂

Our new season kicked off yesterday with the BECC summer garden party!

Thank you to our new Chair, Kevin Ellis, for opening the season, and to everyone who came along to reconnect after the summer.

A real highlight was meeting Jo Lomas, the new UK Ambassador to Estonia, and her dog Shelby, who was a big hit with the crowd.

Huge thanks to our sponsors, Veino, Priviness and Miss Kriss DJ, for helping make the day such a success.

Thank you also to everyone who supported our two charity partners by buying raffle tickets on the day: the Eesti Pagulasabi / Estonian Refugee Council and SA Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikumi Lastefond. Every ticket helps them continue their important work.

Photos from the event, taken by Rene Lutterus, are on our page under Albums; go take a look and tag yourself!
