The National Nordic Museum, based in Seattle, WA, is hosting the Nordic Innovation Summit on May 19, with a hybrid format to allow attendees to join remotely.
The Scandinavia region is seen as a world leader in pioneering workplace equality. One of highlights of the program is the panel discussion titled "The "Scandinavian DEI Paradox". Scandinavia has some of the most robust regulations in the world to encourage equal opportunities at work; yet there are still large imbalances in the gender balance of business leaders, as male executives still dominate. On the panel alongside Marie, will be Margret Bjarnadóttir, co-founder of Icelandic company PayAnalytics, and panel host Tuula Rytilä, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Digital Stores.
