About

With over twenty years experience in international relations and diplomacy, politics and strategic consulting I am an experienced team leader with an extensive global network. I am driven and dedicated, passionate for renewable energy and its importance towards building a sustainable future. I am a former Minister of Industry and Commerce in Iceland, responsible for a wide portfolio including tourism, energy, industry, film and design. I am an experienced public speaker and used to communicate and interact with the media. I thrive in a challenging, dynamic environment where I need to be able to attend to several important tasks at the same time. Since retiring from politics I have enjoyed the opportunity to consult and be a board member with organizations close to my interest. I am frequently asked to address and participate in local and international conferences on various topics including renewable energy, tourism and gender equality.
