Camilla was a VC in the ’80s, then she founded two predictive modelling companies in biopharma (one with a $95M buyout one year after launch, and the other is the basis of CERTARA which IPO’d again Dec 2020 and quickly rose to a $4B valuation). She then earned an MFA (that’s a masters in fine arts) in fashion design, and ran her own eCommerce label for five years. Most recently she’s founded the inclusive fashion company, Savitude, who are helping fashion designers solve the fit, return and excess inventory problems by providing Enhanced Sketching using AI Design Intelligence.
