Christa Gyori is Co-Founder and CEO of Leaders on Purpose, a global leadership platform and executive community helping senior leaders navigate frontier change across technology, capital, and business transformation. Founded by leaders, academics, and experts from Unilever, Harvard, the London School of Economics, and the World Bank, Leaders on Purpose convenes CEOs, investors, policymakers, and innovators to turn complexity into strategy, coalitions, and long-term value. Over the past decade, Christa has led one of the most extensive longitudinal studies of CEO leadership and business transformation, drawing on 110+ in-depth interviews with leaders of companies representing more than $1 trillion in value. Her forthcoming book, FutureFit, to be published by Bloomsbury in February 2027, introduces a five-stage model for next-generation leadership and examines how the most adaptive companies build resilience, strategic advantage, and compounding value in a world of uncertainty. In 2026, Leaders on Purpose is launching the Leadership Intelligence Circle, a selective cohort of 25 CEOs and senior leaders focused on AI, quantum, and decision-making under uncertainty. The Circle brings together frontier innovators, including Dragon Camp and Dynex, to help senior leaders translate emerging technologies into boardroom-ready insight and practical strategic capability. Christa’s recognitions include the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Professional Excellence Award, the TED/Unilever Sustainable Innovation Award, Conscious Company’s Conscious Leader of the Year, a 2023 Thinkers50 Distinguished Achievement Award shortlist for Ideas into Practice, and recognition by Forbes among its “Top 11 Purposeful Leaders: Women Positively and Inspiringly Impacting the World.”
