📣 ProWoc is proud to announce our Keynote Speaker for International Women’s Day 2026: Give to Gain
Rikke Rønholt Albertsen PhD
Some leadership journeys are shaped by visibility and momentum.
Others are shaped by range — by moving between worlds, standards, and expectations, and learning how to lead across all of them.
Rikke Rønholt Albertsen’s journey belongs firmly in the latter. Across elite sport, global sustainability work, and academia, Rikke has built a career defined by discipline, judgment, and long-term contribution. Not by shortcuts or slogans, but by showing up — consistently — in environments that demand clarity, credibility, and responsibility.
In her keynote, Rikke brings Give to Gain to life through leadership as it is actually lived — holding paradox, navigating trade-offs, and committing to contribution even when outcomes are uncertain.
What you’ll take with you
✨A clearer way of thinking about Give to Gain as a daily leadership practice, not a one-time decision
✨Tools to hold paradox and navigate trade-offs without losing clarity or conviction
✨Perspective on how to lead with confidence and influence even when recognition isn’t immediate or guaranteed
✨A deeper sense of how to stand comfortably in who you are, shaped by the many layers of your experience
Rather than offering prescriptions, Rikke offers perspective: on how giving becomes a way of leading, and how long-term contribution quietly compounds into collective gain.
Profile
From elite athletics to leadership development and organisational transformation, and later into global sustainability and development work in collaboration with UN agencies, NGOs, and Danish embassies, Rikke Rønholt Albertsen has worked at the intersection of performance and purpose. Today, she teaches and researches leadership and corporate sustainability at Copenhagen Business School and INSEAD, while continuing to serve on boards of civil society organisations working with human rights and sustainable development.
