Fireside Chat with President Dalia Grybauskaitė
Dalia Grybauskaitė made history as Lithuania’s first female President, holding office from 2009 to 2019. She chaired the Council of Women World Leaders from 2014 to 2019. Additionally, she served as the European Union‘s Commissioner for Financial Programming and Budget, earning the title of Commissioner of the Year in 2005 due to her efforts on EU budget reform.
Her journey through various governmental roles and leadership on the international stage has made her a well-respected voice in discussions on global challenges and geopolitical issues. Grybauskaite has been nicknamed "the Iron Lady" and "the steel magnolia" by international media in reference to her no-nonsense style and principled stance against Russia‘s aggressive actions.
Dalia will share her perspectives on the evolving geopolitical landscape and the West's response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. The event will delve into critical topics, exploring the West’s security challenges, the broader implications of Russia’s war in Ukraine, and other pressing geopolitical issues that shape today’s world.
The discussion will be moderated by Linas Kojala, an Executive MBA student at Cambridge Judge Business School.
This event is organised together with the Cambridge Executive MBA Programmes.
