Lavin Exclusive Speaker Chrystia Freeland is a bestselling author, Rhodes Scholar, and CEO of the Rhodes Trust. Previously, she spent over a decade in federal politics, during which time she served as Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, and Minister of Finance.
Her forthcoming book, Unreliable Boyfriend: An Insider’s View of Dealing with a Chaotic Superpower, Plutocrats, and Other Complicated People, is a hotly anticipated look into the challenges and future of America, Canada, and the world. She draws on her own story as an insider and an outsider, a journalist and a politician, an activist and a woman, to offer a provocative account of America’s relationship with its allies, its workers, and its own democratic ideals. At a moment of rising tariffs and global instability, she shows us how liberal democracy can deliver: for working people at home, and for allies trying to build a more stable world together.
A compelling, accessible keynote speaker, Chrystia brings deep international expertise to the stage. She speaks with authority on democracy, governance, trade, economic uncertainty, authoritarianism, power, and how governments can earn trust by making democracy tangible in people’s lives.
