Book IWD Speaker: Erika Casupanan

First Canadian Survivor Winner, Award-Winning Host & Media Personality, Teaching Audiences to Win Their Way

No one expected the petite, purple-haired Canadian to take home a historic reality TV victory, but Erika Casupanan proves that there’s no one-size-fits-all formula to winning. Now, she teaches audiences how to win your way.

Erika is a keynote speaker, media personality, award-winning podcaster and the first Canadian to win the hit reality show Survivor. Her journey is defined by courageously charting new paths, taking her from corporate communications, tech, reality TV and now a career as an award-winning, multi-hyphenate media personality

Whether it’s on reality TV, working in the competitive tech industry or building a new career in media, Erika is skilled in navigating complex environments and uncertainty. Today, she draws on those experiences to empower people to tap into their unique values, turn their strengths into competitive advantages and write their own blueprint for success.

Through compelling storytelling, humour and practical insights, Erika challenges audiences to rethink what it means to win. Her message is simple: you don’t have to follow someone else’s playbook to succeed. You can define what winning means to you and create your own way there.

Erika has been a correspondent on Entertainment Tonight Canada and collaborated with major brands like TD Bank, Nike, Netflix, Skittles and more. With years of comedy training under her belt through Second City and Sweet Action Theatre, she loves to throw in some laughs too.
