A leadership journey: conversations with Herta von Steigel

摘要

In this new section of the Journal of General Management we aim to engage with practice through interviews with organisation leaders. We will focus on individuals whose careers and achievements are of special interest to our readers through their inspirational example and abilities to achieve significant change in the world. In this edition we meet Herta Von Steigel who is the Founding Chief Executive of Ariya Capital, an investment firm established to focus on sustainable investments in Africa. Previously, Herta has over 25 years international finance experience in senior positions at Citibank, JP Morgan and AIG. She is founder and chair of the Prince's Trust Women's Leadership Group, member of the Women's Leadership Board at Harvard University and on the board of the Committee of 200, an organisation of the world's most successful women entrepreneurs and corporate leaders. She has recently published a book The Mountain Within and has produced an earlier award-winning documentary of the same name.
