Previously I served as the CEO and Chief Change Catalyst for The B Team, where global business and civil society leaders work together on confronting our crisis of conformity in leadership. I have long been on a quest to inspire and empower leaders to embrace purpose-driven, gender-balanced and principled leadership. I have passionately pursued this purpose as a business leader in Corporate America with M&M and Pepsi Cola, as the first female CEO of Iceland’s Chamber of commerce and as an executive and non-executive director for diverse businesses. An entrepreneur at heart, I joined the founding team of Reykjavik University where I founded the Executive Education department and led a successful initiative focused on empowering women and girls as entrepreneurs, leaders and investors. In 2007 I co-founded an investment firm with the vision to incorporate feminine values and ESG metrics into finance. The company made international headlines when it successfully survived Iceland’s infamous economic meltdown. In 2016, I ran for President as an independent candidate with no prior political experience and surprised everyone as I emerged from an initial 1% in the polls to becoming the runner-up with nearly 30% of the vote. <br><br>I have an international MBA from Thunderbird and have lived and worked in the US, the UK and across the Nordics. My work has led me to the TED stage several times and I have delivered keynotes and participated in dialogues about new visions for leadership for companies and conferences around the world. Newsweek named me to a list of 150 women who “shake the world” and the New Yorker called me a “Living Emoji of Sincerity”.
