Talks
The Milken Institute, Women's Health Network



April 13 2026, I presented the Nordic Charter for Women's Health 2040 at the Milken Institute's Women's Health Network, chaired by former first lady Jill Biden, in Washington, DC.
I was invited to speak to the Women's Health Network's 3rd steering group committee meeting to set a direction for the future of women's health. It was a closed session for around 30 people but the people in the room had the power to move the needle. I asked a simple question - what does the future look like if women's health is treated as essential infrastructure to resilient and thriving societies?
In the role as co-founder of NORA, I positioned the Nordic region as a global testbed for advancing women's health, due to its universal healthcare, world-class data, high levels of trust, low transactional costs, and collaborative innovation models.

Moderator
I also moderate panel debates and dialogues, often at the intersection of health, innovation, and futures thinking. My success criteria is to create conversations that move beyond surface-level discussion and into the space where abstract ideas become tangible.
I've moderated high-level panels such as "Power Shifts and Pressure Points" with WiLD Norway, bringing together leaders from science, business, and policy to explore how systemic change in women's health and leadership can shape our shared future.
Whether the theme is women's health, the future of leadership, or sustainable innovation, I design every debate to be inclusive, thought-provoking, and action-oriented, ensuring that all voices are heard.
