Keynote speaker
Economische groei = Duurzame groei
Plenair programma 09.40 - 10.20 uur
For more than two decades, Noreena Hertz’s economic predictions have not only been accurate and ahead of the curve, but crucial to the success of the world’s economy. Hertz has become one of the most influential economists on the international stage.
Currently the Duisenberg Professor of Globalization, Sustainability and Finance based at both RSM, Erasmus University and University of Cambridge, Hertz’s work offers a much needed blueprint for rethinking economics. Her unique, integrated approach weaves traditional economic analysis into foreign policy trends, psychology and sociology.
Hertz’s career began in St. Petersburg where she completed her MBA at Wharton and helped establish the city’s stock exchange. Hertz then became a consultant at the World Bank, advising the Russian government on economic reforms; specifically the shift from a communist model to a capitalist system.
After gaining her Ph.D. at Cambridge, Hertz moved to the Middle East, where she headed a team of 40 researchers exploring potential roles for the private sector in the peace process.
In her number one best-selling book The Silent Takeover, Hertz predicted that unregulated markets and massive financial institutions would have serious global consequences. This prescience has lead to many describing Professor Hertz as a visionary.
Her 2005 best-seller, The Debt Threat: How Debt is Destroying the Developing World…and Threatening Us All, exposed the dangers of irrational lending.
Hertz played a leading role in the development of (RED) an innovative commercial model to raise money for Aids victims in Africa having inspired Bono (co-founder of the project) with her writings.
Hertz’s op-ed pieces have been published in several key publications including The Washington Post and The Financial Times. Alongside a heavy broadcasting and writing schedule, Hertz regularly participates in debates and panel discussions with leading politicians and public figures. She also advises major multinational corporations, CEOs, NGOs as well as start up companies and sits on various corporate and charitable Boards.
