Anna Kinberg Batra was elected the first female leader of the Moderate Party in 2015 and could have been Sweden’s first female prime minister today. Instead, she became the first leader of her party in over 100 years to be forced to resign before the election. Today, she is associated with the Stockholm School of Economics’ Centre for Leadership Research, writes in Dagens Industri, has board and advisory assignments for various companies and organizations, and lectures on leadership in turbulent times.

Anna Kinberg Batra has a unique experience in politics, from all levels including the highest, not only as party leader but also as group leader in the parliament, chair of the finance committee, the EU committee, from county councils, municipalities, the European Parliament and as an expert for Prime Minister Bildt. But unlike many other politicians, she also has an understanding and knowledge of business. Today, she drives societal change and green transition, mainly in the business sector, with board and advisory assignments in e.g. Soltech, Svensk Solenergi, Polarium, Cinis fertilizer and multiple sustainability award-winning real estate company Castellum.
