GreenBiz 27 Keynotes
Two 90-minute main stages bring you leaders who’ve done the work of turning climate risk into business opportunity, in a series of candid, unscripted conversations, interviews, stand and delivers, debates and conversations you won’t get anywhere else. No talking points, just real leaders on the real work.
This year’s through line: the middle. The GreenBiz 27 main stage centers on one idea: the middle of a career, of a company’s climate goals, of the sustainability profession itself. As we announce each speaker, we share a first look at how they see the middle, in their own words. Yours is on your speaker graphic, and the sample posts below are built to connect the dots.
Just Announced
Welcome, Diana, to the GreenBiz 27 Keynote Program
Diana Birkett Rakow, CEO, Hawaiian Airlines
Diana Birkett Rakow is joining the GreenBiz 27 main stage in an interview with Jim Giles, Editor-at-Large, Trellis Group. As a sustainability executive elevated to CEO, she’ll share her experience navigating the intersection of business strategy, operational leadership and sustainability.
For Diana, this year’s main stage theme—the work that happens in “the middle”—comes down to one word, kuleana, a Hawaiian word for responsibility. It’s a fitting lens for the complexity she’s navigating. Diana is leading decarbonization in aviation, one of the harder industries to make progress in, while bringing two airlines together, a level of organizational change that pressure-tests goals, communications, culture and brand.
Expect an honest conversation about what it takes to hold that responsibility through the middle of change.
