Kersti Kaljulaid

Former President of Estonia & UN Global Advocate for Digital Innovation

Kersti Kaljulaid is a primary architect of modern, resilient statecraft. Having governed the world’s most digitally advanced society, she transformed "e-Estonia" into the definitive global benchmark for technological sovereignty.

Whether delivering a visionary keynote or steering high-level board discussions, Kersti applies a "Digital-First" logic to geopolitical realism, helping leaders synchronise cyber-infrastructure with institutional trust to withstand the pressure of hybrid threats.

She assists global organisations in navigating systemic risk, utilising her frontline experience with NATO and the European Union to help boards bridge the divide between military capability and governance innovation. By reframing digital leadership as a matter of rule of law, she transforms technological adoption into a measurable driver of organisational resilience.

Through her expert commentary, Kersti enables decision-makers to master the democratic innovation required to lead in an era where security is defined by connectivity.
