My name is Iuliia and I'm a huge Salesforce fan. My journey with Salesforce began in 2010, and it has been a perfect match ever since. Before discovering Salesforce, I had extensive experience with various web technologies, but what truly captivated me was Salesforce's unique approach to solution-building. It challenges you to constantly think about the most effective implementation strategies. While there were (and still are :) ) many factors to consider and limitations to navigate, I find that these challenges often lead to elegant solutions. I love that Salesforce is constantly evolving the technology, you are always learning and growing.
I currently hold the full suite of certifications that allowed me to become a Salesforce Certified Application Architect, and am just one certification away from becoming a Certified System Architect. I'm on my way!
My experience spans across the healthcare, financial services, education sectors, and I’ve recently added Agentforce to the mix. I'm passionate about opening new doors with Salesforce, exploring new areas, building strong customer relationships, seeing how our work makes clients happy, meeting new people, understanding their needs, and finding the best ways to help them achieve their goals.

Dr. Julia Grosse is the founder of The Cyclical CEO™, where she helps high-performing women and business teams achieve sustainable growth by syncing strategy with biology. With a background in biology and years of field research—including leadership experience during the largest polar science mission of our time, the MOSAiC Arctic Expedition—Julia bridges performance science, female leadership, and business systems.

Her career began as a scientist, but burnout and firsthand leadership experience in extreme environments revealed a missing piece: productivity and decision-making don’t operate on a 24-hour schedule, especially for women. This insight led her to pioneer rhythm-based business frameworks that combine hormonal intelligence, cognitive science, and modern productivity models.

Through her signature programs—like the Business Rhythm Blueprint and the S.C.A.L.E. Method—Julia has equipped leaders, entrepreneurs, and HR professionals across Europe to harness their natural cycles for better focus, communication, and wellbeing. Her work has been featured in New Me Event Series, Leaders Perception Magazine, and the Womanship “Behind the Bio” podcast.

Julia’s practical, evidence-based approach activates audiences: her sessions don’t just inform—they inspire action and lasting results. Whether you’re scaling a business, building resilient teams, or seeking new models for sustainable performance, Julia brings a fresh science-backed perspective that redefines leadership for the future of work.
