Katja Iversen: She is changing the world for the better for both women and men

By Katrine Rosenbæk| Berlingske| 28 November 2019

Katja Iversen, 50, CEO, Women Deliver

For Katja Iversen, there is no doubt. The world must invest in girls and women - not just for the sake of girls and women, but for the sake of everyone. She struggles daily as CEO of Women Deliver, where she travels around the world to create more equality.

Katja Iversen's networking skills should be unmatched, and among the people she has managed to help put Women's Deliver's branding agenda on the agenda include prime ministers such as French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in addition to royal ones Crown-Princess Mary.

Berlingske also honored her for her work when she was awarded the newspaper's award as the Dancer of the Year in 2018 because she succeeds in improving the rights and opportunities of girls and women. When Katja Iversen received the award, editor-in-chief Tom Jensen also emphasized her global work - which can change the world for the better for many.
