Keynote Speaker

Rebecca Henderson

Rebecca is a visionary leader and renowned author driving innovative change in the world of business. With over three decades of expertise in organizational and strategic change, she’s a trailblazer in advocating for purpose-driven capitalism and the role that business leaders at every level can play in reimagining our current system. “It is possible to create a better, more sustainable future. But only if we act with urgency – and in concert with one another.” This belief has driven Rebecca’s work for the last ten years and is at the heart of her latest endeavor: “Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire,” (Hachette, 2020).

This groundbreaking work offers a compelling new narrative and actionable strategies to reshape capitalism, moving away from the singular pursuit of shareholder value. With her notable expertise and visionary outlook, Rebecca is paving the way for a more sustainable and inclusive future in business. Join her on this transformative journey towards a world where purpose and profit align for the greater good.
