Carly Fiorina

Founder & Chairman, Carly Fiorina Enterprises; Former CEO, Hewlett Packard; Best-Selling Author

The esteemed career of business luminary and leadership expert Carly Fiorina has had two constants: leadership and problem solving. From helming Hewlett Packard (HP), to her 2016 run for President of the United States, to heading several philanthropic organizations tackling global poverty and female empowerment, she’s channeled what is an innate ability to help others reach their highest leadership potential. Today, Carly is a passionate, articulate advocate for problem-solving, innovation, and effective leadership. She is founder and Chairman of Carly Fiorina Enterprises, which works with companies to create an equitable workplace culture, build high-performance teams, and teach the fundamentals of leadership. Carly’s mission is to inspire, equip, and connect 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. In addition to her regular speeches to students, businesses and non-profits, Carly is also a best-selling author. Her titles include Tough Choices and Rising to the Challenge. Her third book, Find Your Way, was published in spring 2019 and documents the path to unleashing one’s own power and highest potential based on Carly’s own personal and profession.
