Crush Movement
Crush Movement was started by Katja Presnal and Anna Koskinen in 2022. Both were founders of female entrepreneur networks with an aligned mission: to empower and enable collaboration and financial success for women business owners. Crush started as a Talk Show, and then came the annual events. In 2025, Anna got an amazing career opportunity, and now Katja runs Crush together with her daughter Isabella Presnal.
