About

Hi, I’m Camila, but you can call me Cami. And yes, Fuckup Nights is my full-time job. People usually ask me what I do, and my answer changes depending on the day. Sometimes I say I work in sales. Sometimes I say I work in events. And sometimes I say: I help people lose their fear of failure. That one usually makes people pause… and then lean in and ask for more. So here it is: At Fuckup Nights, we do two main things: 👉 We make it possible for Fuckup Nights to exist in more than 280 cities around the world, creating open spaces where people can talk about failure without fear 👉 We work with companies to improve innovation, culture, and psychological safety, helping teams speak up, share ideas, and lose the fear of failure On top of that, I travel, host and moderate events, and coach speakers to tell better, braver, and more honest stories on stage 🎤 And yes, I really believe in the “Just buy the ticket” philosophy. I even turned it into a podcast 🎟️ It’s about trying things, doing them scared, and not spending your whole life asking “how” before you start. You don’t always see the full path, but you figure it out by taking the first step, and then the next one. Life is too short not follow your dreams. Outside of work, I love getting to know the world through its people, traveling, and walking for hours through the streets of Barcelona. I’m Colombian, I don’t drink coffee (yes, still true 😅), I’m obsessed with matcha and tea. If you want to grab a tea, join my podcast because you have a story worth sharing, or talk about innovation, sales, or how to lose the fear of failure — I’d love to connect 🙂

  • Expansion Lead | Public Speaker & Speaker Coach at Fuckup Nights
    Sep 2025 - Present · 11 mos

    Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of failure to foster authenticity, learning, and resilience. Through live events and community-driven conversations, founders, leaders, and professionals openly share their “fuckups” the lessons, emotions, and growth behind the failures that shaped them. As Expansion Lead for the EMEA region, I’m responsible for growing the movement across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, connecting with local leaders to launch new chapters and helping more people in the region discover the power of failure-based storytelling. I also work closely with companies and organizations to bring Fuckup Nights into corporate environments, designing internal and external events that help teams rethink failure, build psychological safety, and create healthier, more human work cultures.
