Nordic Business Forum 2025 Speaker
Gianpiero Petriglieri
Gianpiero Petriglieri is Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD and an expert on leadership and learning in the workplace. He directs the Management Acceleration Programme, the school’s flagship Executive Education programme for emerging leaders, and is the Academic Director of the INSEAD Initiative for Learning Innovation and Teaching Excellence. Gianpiero was recently presented with the Dominique Héau award for inspiring educational excellence at INSEAD.
Gianpiero’s award-winning research and teaching focus on what it means, and what it takes, to become a leader. He is particularly interested in the development of responsible leadership in the age of “nomadic professionalism,” in which more and more people have deep bonds to work but loose affiliations to institutions, and authenticity and mobility have replaced loyalty and advancement as hallmarks of virtue and success.

Simon Sinek & Nordic Business Forum
Simon Sinek at NBF 2015
Leaders Eat Last: Sinek awed the crowd with his humanistic approach to leadership based on evolutionary biology.
Simon Sinek at NBF Sweden & Norway 2019
Capitalism, as Adam Smith envisioned it, is broken. Short-term finite thinking is to blame, leadership expert Simon Sinek declared during his keynote address at the Nordic Business Forum Sweden 2019. The result is the culmination of theories which claim that a company’s purpose is to maximize profits within the limits of the law and to prioritize shareholder value over customer and employee welfare.
