In this episode, I speak with Anita Orbán. Anita shares her inspiring story, growing up in Hungary, back then a satellite country of the Soviet Union, and then starting her professional life as an academic researching Russia’s use of energy as a tool of foreign policy. Her work caught the attention of the Hungarian government, asking her to turn her groundbreaking findings into policy in a newly created ambassadorial position. Followed a fascinating career within government and later in the private sector. We revisit her seminal insights from the perspective of the 2022 Russia/Ukraine war, talk about her lessons learned on leadership and what she's up to today.
