One of the most high-profile business leaders in the world, Carly Fiorina passionately believes in the power of people to transform organizations and change the world.
Carly Fiorina’s esteemed career has had two constants: leadership and problem solving. From helming Hewlett Packard (HP), to her 2016 run to lead the country, to heading several philanthropic organizations aimed towards tackling global poverty and female empowerment, she has channeled her innate ability to help others reach their highest leadership potential.
Carly Fiorina’s skills have been leveraged to lead organizations through turbulent times ranging from world health crises and economic recessions to being selected to serve as the Chairman of the External Advisory Board of the CIA.
A passionate advocate for problem-solving, innovation, and effective leadership, Carly Fiorina is the founder and Chairman of Carly Fiorina Enterprises, which counsels companies to create an equitable workplace culture, build high-performance teams, and teach the fundamentals of leadership, and the Chairman of Unlocking Potential Foundation. This non-profit organization invests in human potential by supporting local leaders who are solving problems in their communities and places of work.
Carly Fiorina’s mission is to inspire, and equip individuals and teams to seize opportunities, face challenges, and accelerate impact in their communities and places of work. She knows that everyone has more potential than they realize, that those closest to the problem understand the problem best, and that leading to unlock the potential in others and actually solve problems can result in both progress and joy.
Called “The Most Powerful Woman in Business” by FORTUNE magazine—and the first woman to lead a Fortune 20 company—Fiorina’s bestselling memoir, Tough Choices, has been translated into 12 languages. In 2015, she announced she would seek the Republican nomination for President of the United States, capturing national attention for her platform of citizen government.
As CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Carly Fiorina successfully tackled complicated business challenges - strategic focus, product innovation, and mergers and integration – all during the dotcom boom and bust and the worst technology recession in 25 years. The company’s success can be attributed to Carly’s invaluable foresight: for HP to survive, she had to transform its complacent culture into a dynamic, innovative environment that would enable the company to become the industry leader.
Throughout her career, Carly Fiorina has developed leaders and problem solvers in nearly every sector, from for-profits and non-profits, to faith-based communities and academia. She believes that leadership is not about an impressive title or possessing the corner office, but about effectively solving problems and unlocking the potential of those around you.
Today, more than ever, a successful workplace must be comprised of teams with innovative, diverse perspectives who are empowered to solve their sector’s most challenging problems. Ethnically diverse organizations are 35% more likely to outperform their peers, and companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15% more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians. But traditional diversity training is unlikely to foster such a productive environment. Carly achieved success and solved the critical problems directly ahead of her only by surrounding herself with a myriad of perspectives and empowering her diverse teams to drive real change.
Solving problems, effectively empowering employees, and driving results are the expectations of today’s leaders, at all levels and in every sector. In a powerful, pragmatic presentation, Carly shares her transformative career story: from secretary for a nine-person real estate business, to becoming the first woman to lead a FORTUNE 50 company, as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard.
