Geopolitical strategist
We are happy to announce that Dr. Pippa Malmgren will replace Scott Galloway at Oslo Business Forum 2025, as he is unable to attend due to private reasons. While his presence will be missed, Dr. Malmgren brings a perspective and expertise that is both timely and highly relevant for leaders facing today’s unpredictable environment.

Dr. Malmgren is a world-renowned economist and geopolitical strategist with a career spanning the White House, financial markets, and the tech sector. She has advised Presidents and Prime Ministers, co-founded an award-winning technology firm, served as a regulator of international standards, and judged The Queen’s Enterprise Awards. Known for her ability to connect the dots across geopolitics, economics, and technology, she equips leaders to see through complexity and turn uncertainty into opportunity.

Her keynote, “Staying Ahead in an Unpredictable World”, will address how leaders can navigate disruption with foresight, agility, and strategic courage. Drawing on her vast international experience, she will provide practical tools for anticipating change and building resilient organizations. The session will focus on three critical themes:

1. Geopolitics as a strategic lens: Global events are no longer distant headlines. They directly impact business strategies, shaping both risks and opportunities. Leaders must learn to interpret geopolitical shifts as essential input for decision-making.

2. Innovation at the intersections: Breakthroughs often emerge where technology, policy, and leadership collide. The ability to recognize and seize these intersections can determine whether a business thrives or falls behind.

3. Seeing around corners: The future always leaves signals. By spotting weak clues and hidden patterns early, leaders can act decisively before disruption fully unfolds.

This keynote is not only about managing volatility but about mastering it. Leaders will learn how to identify the early signs of change in markets, security, and technology — and how to convert them into a competitive edge. Dr. Malmgren will challenge leaders to view geopolitics as a practical tool, embrace innovation where boundaries overlap, and strengthen their ability to anticipate what comes next.

By replacing Scott Galloway with Dr. Pippa Malmgren, Oslo Business Forum 2025 ensures that its program continues to feature world-class insights that prepare leaders to succeed in an unpredictable world. Her presence on stage promises to deliver clarity, inspiration, and a call to action for every leader determined to build a future-ready organization.
