Katrine Kielos-Marçal

Katrine Kielos-Marçal is a distinguished Swedish journalist and the Global Economic Commentator for Dagens Nyheter. Throughout her career, she has secured exclusive access to some of the world’s most influential figures, ranging from former First Lady Michelle Obama to esteemed economists such as Mariana Mazzucato and Nassim Taleb. Her expertise spans macroeconomics, geopolitics, and the critical role of feminism within financial structures, having previously served as the chief editorialist for Aftonbladet. Her literary work provides a profound critique of traditional economic theory. In her celebrated book, Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?, she examines how the exclusion of unpaid care has shaped modern fiscal thought, a work that was nominated for the August Prize and translated into twenty languages. Her follow-up, Mother of Invention, investigates how gender bias has historically stalled technological progress, citing examples such as the five-millennia delay in adding wheels to luggage and the early suppression of electric vehicles. Recognised as one of the BBC's 100 Women and a recipient of the Jolo Prize for Journalism, Katrine frequently shares her expertise at prestigious institutions including the London School of Economics and Oxford University. Audiences book Katrine for her ability to dismantle complex economic myths and offer a fresh, authoritative perspective on how social inclusion drives global innovation. On stage, Katrine Kielos-Marçal is best known for talks on Economics, Women And Gender Issues, Innovation and Social Impact. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Charity & Non-Profit, Education and Publishing, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
