Kristin Engvig is a global pioneer in women’s leadership and conscious leadership, known for her long-standing contribution to advancing more inclusive and human-centered approaches to leadership and systems transformation.

​

For nearly three decades, her work has focused on integrating inner development with organizational and societal change. Long before authentic leadership, diversity, and feminine leadership became widely recognized priorities, Kristin was quietly laying the foundations of what would grow into an international movement.

In the late 1990s, from her kitchen in Milan, she founded Women’s International Networking (WIN) with the vision of creating a global platform where individuals and organizations could explore a more balanced and sustainable way of leading and living. Guided by clarity of purpose and a deep commitment to “being the change,” WIN evolved organically into a globally respected leadership ecosystem spanning Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the United States.

​

Over the years, Kristin has collaborated with more than 100 of the world’s most respected companies and institutions and welcomed more than 25,000 senior decision-makers to the Global WINConference.

Through WIN’s programs, partnerships, and global community initiatives, millions of women around the world have been directly and indirectly impacted. Many participants, inspired, connected, and mentored through WIN, have gone on to create their own leadership networks, initiatives, and movements, extending WIN’s influence across sectors and continents.

 

Beyond its flagship events and leadership programs, the WIN community connects women’s networks and leaders across continents while nurturing its own global sisterhood aligned with WIN’s values and approach to leadership.

 

Central to her work is The WIN Way, an integrated framework connecting World, Work, and You through eight pillars for transformation. This approach bridges feminine principles of awareness, alignment, and attraction with strategic leadership and organizational effectiveness, bringing together inner awakening and measurable impact in business, communities, and society.

 

Kristin’s work has also enabled numerous scholarships and supported projects benefiting girls and women in countries including India, Nigeria, Cameroon, Nepal, Burundi, and across Europe.

 

She is a sought-after speaker, facilitator, mentor, and advisor, partnering with senior leaders navigating complexity, cultural transformation, diversity, and the future of leadership. She has chaired high-level leadership dialogues at the United Nations in Geneva and regularly contributes to global conversations including the W7 of the G7, the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, and international leadership gatherings.

​

Her work advancing women’s leadership worldwide has been recognized with several international awards, including the EuroKnowledge Outstanding Women Leadership Award, recognition from the CEO for Life Awards, Diversity Global Magazine, and the International Alliance of Women.

​

Earlier in her career, she worked with J.P. Morgan, Citibank, and Innovation Norway, as well as in European policy and strategy consulting roles. She sits on boards including Global Citizen Forum and Cspoc, a UN NGO.

She holds a degree in Business and Marketing from BI Norwegian Business School and an MBA from SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan, complemented by decades of interdisciplinary studies in leadership psychology, communication, consciousness practices, and systems thinking, integrating analytical rigor with embodied wisdom.

​

Known for her remarkable ability to connect women across cultures, sectors, and generations, Kristin has brought together leaders from around the world in spaces characterized by trust, openness, and transformation. By creating environments where diverse perspectives meet with respect and curiosity, her work quietly contributes to building bridges between cultures, a form of leadership that many see as a meaningful contribution to peace.

​

Her work is dedicated to expanding consciousness in the world, at work, and within each individual, shaping a more harmonious and flourishing future for all.
