Kristin Envig
Kristin Engvig is the founder and CEO of WIN & WINConference. She is a renowned thought leader, speaker and the driving force behind WIN's activities and the evolution of the feminine leadership journey.
She transformed her vision of ‘bringing a more feminine, global and sustainable vision into work, communities and life’ through the creation of the WINConference. The mission is to inspire women worldwide by empowering, developing and connecting leaders in a way that integrates feminine values, global awareness and authentic contribution.
She was born in Kristiansund, Norway. She comes from an artistic family. Her father was a photographer and she was raised in his studio. She was influenced by her mother who was a nurse, a large family, and surrounded by nature and the ocean. In 1997, she started Women's International Networking (WIN ) after working for JPMorgan and Citibank in Milan. WIN was initially created as an umbrella organization for international women's associations and as a learning platform to prepare leaders for the future. She became involved in the international community in Milan and saw an opportunity to create support for women working globally.
In 1998, thanks to sponsorship from SDA Bocconi School of Management and with the help of a group of enthusiastic volunteers and companies, the first WINConference was born. In 2002, at WIN, the international women's associations who were part of it, joined PWN Paris in creating the European Professional Women's Network (PWN) contributing to the success of the initiative. From that moment, WIN intensified its focus on thought leadership, globalizing the WINConference, and WIN company learning events as initiatives to empower and enable women worldwide.
Kristin holds an MSc in Business and Marketing from BI, Oslo, an MBA in Economics from Bocconi University in Milan. She has taken numerous courses in Coaching, Psychology, Kundalini Yoga, Zen, and studied acting and creativity at Studio De Fazio in Rome. She is an artist, social entrepreneur and mother of a beautiful boy named Leonardo.
In 2010, Kristin was the winner of The International Alliance of Women (IAW) Award and was named among Diversity Global Magazine's Top 10 Influential Women in Global Diversity. She attends high-level meetings such as the W7 meeting held in connection with Italy hosting the G7 meeting, the Nobel Peace Prize Forum in Oslo and facilitated a senior leader forum in the SDG tent during Davos 2020.
With more than 22 years of daily experiences working with women from all continents, Kristin believes women's authentic and empowered leadership is a vital responsibility of our time.
