Keynote SpeakersDr Pippa Malmgren is a digital diviner: she uses years of experience at the highest levels of geopolitics and industry to identify the trends that others might miss in a turbulent landscape.
She weaves threads from economics, politics, tech, markets and strategy to show new solutions to long-entrenched problems and spark new ideas for an emerging future.
Pippa is a speaker who can make the world economy exciting, weaving signals together to paint a compelling landscape that gives audiences confidence to navigate turbulence and opportunity.
Touching on everything from finance to defence to digital trends, food, energy, fashion or space, she’s an optimistic realist who leaves audiences, regardless of their specific sectors, excited and empowered.
Her personal experience as the daughter of Harald Malmgren, an aide to John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford, set the stage for her to take on global issues with a natural curiosity, leading her to some of the highest offices in the world.
Her path to the White House was complete when Dr Malmgren served President George W. Bush as Special Assistant to the President and on the Economic Council, advising on the Enron scandal and terrorism risks to the economy post-9/11.
She was, until 2019, a Non-Executive Board Member of the Department of International Trade in the UK. She has served in the British Ministry of Defence Working Group on Global Strategic Trends and briefed Britain’s top Generals at Sandhurst.
She is the founder of DRPM Group, which advises global institutional investors on investment trends. This draws on her experience as an economist, having previously served as Deputy Head of Global Strategy at UBS.
As an entrepreneur, she is a Senior Advisor to The Monaco Foundry, a start-up incubator for impact-led founders, and a Special Advisor to Avonhurst, a legal and consulting firm in the UK specialising in deals, policy and capital raising.
Always seeking stimulating ways to apply her expertise, she co-founded an industrial drone manufacturing firm which won the Cog X Award for Autonomy, the 2020 National Technology Award and Power Product of the Year 2020.
Cognizant of the ever-increasing importance of socio-environmental responsibility, Pippa is on the board of the Premios Verdes, the ‘Green Oscars’, which recognises companies and institutions using tech for environmental good.
As the award-winning author of four books, she is well-placed to synthesise complex concepts into ideas that an audience will want to take away.
Pippa is a regular guest anchor on CNBC and a regular commentator on the BBC, including The Today Program, Newsnight, and Hard Talk.
In 2015 she participated in the Intelligence Squared debate titled The Robots are Coming, and They Will Steal Our Livelihoods, in which she emerged victorious in a debate on how robots and AI will affect the workforce in the future.
