We believe the future of work depends on the courage of those who are willing to reshape it. Today, we welcome one of the most transformative voices in global workplace well-being: Riddhima Kowley, Global Head of Wellbeing at Nokia, joining Happiness Camp 2026 as part of our executive council and invited specialists.
Riddhima has been pioneering a vision that is gaining momentum across organizations worldwide: well-being is not a perk, it’s a performance strategy. A driver of results, innovation, and culture. A structural shift that asks leaders for more humanity, more presence, and more courage.
As she shared in her Executive Council interview:
“I’m on a mission to reframe well-being as the fuel to business performance. I shine brightest in courageous, heart-centred conversation spaces.”
It’s this clear and urgent vision that we’re bringing to the Happiness Camp 2026.
Who is Riddhima?
Riddhima holds one of the most relevant global roles in corporate well-being and has been reshaping Nokia by integrating well-being into the company’s strategic decision-making, influencing culture, leadership, and human impact.
Her work is anchored in intentionality. The focus is simple, yet demanding: how do we build organizations where people thrive, not just produce?
In her conversation with us, she shared deeply human insights: • The importance of intentional pauses throughout the day, “Pause, breathe and sigh” • The power of human connection through small rituals, like sharing a hug or a meal with colleagues • And the need to rethink reward systems based solely on individual achievements
A perspective that is honest. Clear. And necessary.
What to expect at HC 2026?
Riddhima joins a global group of leaders redefining the “S” in ESG, the future of leadership, and the role of well-being in organizational performance. We will soon share more about other world leading professionals that will join Riddhima in the executive council.
For now, we simply want to celebrate: Happiness Camp 2026 just became even more human, more courageous, and more transformative.
A signature message
In her own handwriting, she left us a sentence that captures her vision and marks a turning point for all of us:
“Well-being is a performance multiplier. Not a perk.”
And that’s exactly it. The future of work won’t be built through perks, but through consciousness, strategy, and humanity.
Welcome, Riddhima. The Reset is in motion. And you are an essential part of it.
