Cornelia Choe is an international leadership expert, global keynote speaker, and Thinkers50 Radar honoree who has advised hundreds of CEOs and senior leaders across five continents, helping them make better decisions in complex, high stakes environments. Her TEDx talk has been viewed more than 2 million times.

Her work centers on how leaders expand their perspective in moments of uncertainty — enabling them to see what others miss and lead effectively.

Drawing on experience across multilateral institutions, government agencies, and global companies — from start ups to Fortune 500 corporations — she brings a deep understanding of leadership in interconnected systems.

Cornelia’s global perspective is shaped by a life lived across three continents and seven countries. At eighteen, she led a pioneering initiative connecting CEOs across continents. At nineteen, she spoke at a landmark United Nations conference launching her onto the international stage.

A graduate of Georgetown University and the Harvard Kennedy School, she previously worked in private equity at Morgan Stanley and other institutions, supporting leadership teams across Asia, Europe, and North America. Fluent in three languages, she speaks globally on leadership, decision making, and how leaders widen their lens in moments that matter most.
