Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:COI Camilla Ley Valentin is Danish business executive who co-founded and, as of September 2015, is the chief communications officer of the internet queuing system Queue-it.[1] She is the daughter of the composer and television host Hans-Henrik Ley (1923–2014).[2]

Ley Valentin ascribes her success to her father's inspiration and to the training she received while working for A.P. Møller-Mærsk. After becoming interested in the Internet, she earned an MBA from Heriot Watt University in Scotland. She then spent a constructive period working for the IT department of Nykredit, but she began looking for a position where her work reflected her own creativity. This led her to join Fourkant in Copenhagen where she had the opportunity to concentrate on the Queue-it Internet application which she co-founded in 2010.[2] The system is designed to resolve end-user overload in order to prevent website failure.[3]

In 2012, Ley Valentin became the first woman in IT to receive the Danish "Female Entrepreneur of the Year" award hosted by Deloitte.[4]

In connection with her award, Ley Valentin explained: "My childhood home was immersed in a spirit of creativity, industriousness and achievement." For Trendsonline, she added: "There is not a single day that I go home without learning something, creating something or meeting inspiring people. That probably explains why I've kept working in the business for almost 15 years."[5]
