HBR Live: Leaders Who Make a Difference

  • Harvard Business Review (map)

We are at a critical juncture right now as the world reckons with an ongoing pandemic, racial injustice, environmental risks, and other issues. More than ever before, CEOs and other leaders must tackle these big challenges while also delivering bottom-line growth.

On April 8, join us for HBR Live: Leaders Who Make a Difference. A one-day virtual conference hosted by Harvard Business Review’s editors, HBR Live will convene powerful CEOs and global changemakers who have made corporate social responsibility a major priority — and succeeded at transforming their companies and, in some cases, their industries.

Our daylong (9 a.m. – 4 p.m. EST) program of provocative interviews, interactive sessions, and expert-led masterclasses will inspire you and equip you with proven strategies to drive positive change in your own organization.

You’ll hear from speakers such as:

  • Ajay Banga, Executive Chairman and Former CEO, Mastercard

  • Mary Barra, Chairman and CEO, General Motors

  • Albert Bourla, Chairman and CEO, Pfizer

  • Marvin Ellison, President and CEO, Lowe’s

  • Anne Wojcicki, Co-founder and CEO, 23andMe

  • Vernā Myers, Vice President of Inclusion Strategy, Netflix

  • Rebecca Henderson, Professor, Harvard Business School, and author of Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire

  • Marcus Buckingham, Head, ADP Research Institute, and author of Nine Lies About Work

The themes we’ll address are top of mind for leaders right now: balancing purpose and profits in an uncertain economy, creating a more inclusive workplace, moving toward stakeholder capitalism, and much more.
