Dame Ellen MacArthur is the pre-eminent authority on systems transition and the mechanics of circular economics. After breaking solo sailing records, she pivoted from navigating the limits of the ocean to addressing the finite resource limits of the planet.

Whether addressing a global summit from the keynote podium or facilitating a strategic dialogue on legacy redesign, Ellen explores the innovation frameworks required to decouple growth from resource depletion. She moves beyond traditional conservation to address value chain transformation, demonstrating how circularity serves as a catalyst for long-term competitiveness and resilience. Her perspective provides a blueprint for systemic change, showing how leading organisations can eliminate waste by design and unlock new models of value creation

By anchoring environmental necessity in smart economics, she enables leaders to synchronise industrial strategy with the resource-constrained reality of the decades ahead.
