“Camila Hori is a natural leader with the ability to implement her creative vision from start to finish. She has a seemingly bottomless cache of ideas and could always be relied upon to have a winning solution to any conundrum. I reported directly to Camila for 3 years. She imbued a true sense of teamwork. Throughout the many diverse projects we faced as a department she kept the atmosphere fun and efficient. All the while maintaining her signature creative flair and logical execution. In Camila I had a strong leader, a teacher, and an advocate. Any company would be lucky to have her.”

“Camila is one of the most talented, hardworking, and considerate people I have ever had the privilege of working with. Over the course of her 4 years at Viyet (now part of Sotheby’s), she has not only created a visually stunning brand across all touch points, but also built a powerhouse email marketing program virtually from scratch as well as best-in-class user experience across our entire website. Camila consistently over delivers, taking a small kernel of an idea and bringing it to reality in a way that is 10x better than you ever thought possible. In addition to being a design genius, she has an impressive grasp of analytics and metrics, managing every project with the perspective of both a user and a business owner. Beyond all her many professional merits, Camila is most importantly a genuinely kind, wonderful person and a constant source of support and inspiration to all who have the good fortune of working beside her.”
