The Changing Workplace: What You Need to Know
With remote and hybrid work becoming the new norm, how we connect with our companies, colleagues, and office spaces is changing. But the -isms are still there… sexism, racism, and ageism.

Meet Eileen Campbell. She describes herself as “The Fairy Godmother of the Insights Industry." She's been conquering the business world since her first job at 14 and entered the insights industry at the ripe old age of 19 while still in university. After starting her career in Toledo, Ohio, she opened her first office for an agency in Minneapolis one week after her 26th birthday and went on to build the US operations of the Angus Reid Group before moving to Toronto to help launch ARG’s global efforts. Eileen served as Global CEO at Millward Brown (now Kantar), steering the organization to become a $1B consultancy during her 14 year tenure. After leaving Millward Brown, Eileen briefly retired before becoming CMO at IMAX. During her tenure, IMAX experienced its highest growth cycle & stock performance and she was named one of Hollywood’s most influential marketing executives by Variety (she also got to meet a lot of VERY cool people!) She then co-founded Reid Campbell Group, now Rival Group, growing it to nearly $30MM in revenue in under 5 years. While she’s recently stepped away from an active role in Rival Group management, she remains an investor in the company and the team’s biggest cheerleader!
Eileen currently serves on the board of Pure Spectrum and Preface Global and was previously a member of the board of NASDAQ-listed Monotype prior to its take-private sale to private equity investors. These days, Eileen’s time is filled with writing, consulting, and advisory work under the banner of Womintuition. When she’s not working, Eileen enjoys life in the country in the tiny village of Creemore, Ontario where she gardens, golfs and generally lazes about (if you’ve seen any Hallmark movie ever, that’s life in Creemore!). She is married to her beloved husband, Struan Robertson, and is active in efforts to raise awareness of the life-giving power of organ donation as well as organizations committed to advancing social justice and women’s careers.
Earning her BA in Psychology in 2005, Mika began her career in social worker in Los Angeles. She later found her passion in Human Resources and completed her Professional Human Resources certificate from HRCI in January 2013. Continuously learning, Mika is an active member of SHRM and regularly attends organizational development trainings to ensure that she is on the cutting edge of HR trends.
Mika has spent the last 14 years in HR, spanning across the market research, and other tech-based industries. She returned to the market research industry after beginning her career with the founding team at uSamp/Instantly.
Mika is passionate about people, inclusivity, and professional advancement, working to set an example to her daughter every day. She is dedicated to making the business world a better place and demonstrate for her family that anything is possible.
