Speech Topics
Nina Easton deploys her considerable stage presence and breadth of knowledge to produce dynamic conferences, panels, and one-on-one interviews. As chair of Fortune Most Powerful Women International and co-chair of the Fortune Global Forum, she has interviewed the globe’s leading CEO’s, entrepreneurs and politicians. Whether it’s the IMF managing director, a U.S. Secretary of State, the CEO of Hewlitt-Packard, or the inventor of the personal computer, Easton has demonstrated extraordinary skill at bringing out the best in her interview subjects. She regularly emcees multi-day conferences for Fortune and for leading industry associations, working with organizers in advance to ensure a lively and enlightening stage production that leaves audiences wanting more. She believes strongly in advance planning and research, which is why she has built a reputation for mastering subjects ranging from energy to insurance to housing before she gets on the stage.
At industry events and as chair of Fortune Most Powerful Women International and co-chair of the Fortune Global Forum, Nina Easton has interviewed the world’s leading CEO’s, entrepreneurs and politicians. But often the best stories for industry audiences can be found inside their own walls. Top executives have enormous inspiration to offer¾from the riveting history of a company to leadership lessons from those who built it. Too often, company leaders retire and the story of the grit and determination they applied to produce a thriving business is lost to the next generation. With her unparalleled interview skills, and dogged pre-research, Easton unlocks those stories on stage to inspire employees and future generations.
The research is in, and the results conclusive: Women are a force for prosperity. When women are included in economies, growth happens. As chair of Fortune Most Powerful Women International, and host of the “Smart Women, Smart Power” series at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Nina Easton is ideal positioned to discuss women as economic engines, contributing to GDP—and thereby poverty reduction for all. She shows why investment in girls’ education is the highest-return investment available in the developing world—a fact that both smart foreign aid and corporations are discovering. As a Fortune columnist, has written about this trend from places like Dubai, and has addressed the Nobel Peace Prize Forum and others on the topic. She interviewed the Secretary of State on-stage, in front of world leaders and top CEO’s, at the 2011 APEC Summit.
