Kate Raworth is a world-renowned economist and keynote speaker best known for redefining how leaders measure economic success. As the creator of Doughnut Economics, she replaces growth-at-all-costs models with a systems framework designed for today’s realities: planetary boundaries, social foundations, and long-term resilience. Her work reframes the core challenge for business and government, focusing on what an economy is designed to deliver.

Kate’s relevance to board-level audiences lies in strategic redesign. She examines how economic models invisibly shape incentives, investment decisions, and risk exposure. By making these models explicit, she enables C-suite leaders to rethink value creation, capital allocation, and performance beyond short-term metrics that no longer reflect real-world environmental and social constraints.

Used globally by cities, governments, and multinational corporates, her framework guides decisions on sustainability, innovation, and corporate governance. Kate provides practical systems thinking for complex environments, offering high-level audiences the tools to lead through the transition to sustainable business models.
