Sven Kotkas is a lifelong entrepreneur who believes that businesses should be built for people, not just for profit. As the founder and CEO of Kinema, Estonia’s leading industrial door service company, he has spent the last 33 years navigating political shifts, economic ups and downs, and the constant evolution of work itself.
Today, Kinema operates through collective intelligence and a holacratic model, proving that trust and shared leadership aren’t just buzzwords – they are the future.
When he’s not reimagining how companies can run, Sven dives into the startup world as a founder of Cenzor and as an active investor and mentor at EstBAN. His guiding principle: organizations thrive when people are trusted to lead together.
