Madeleine K. Albright

Honorary Co/Chair of the US Aspen Board

I am honoured and proud of Aspen’s tremendous success by training new leaders, developing new ideas and forming new connections. I have confidence that Aspen CE will grow into a true region-wide platform promoting civil discourse and informed discussion, something we so desperately need in this day and age.

Madeleine K. Albright was Chair of Albright Stonebridge Group, a global strategy firm, and Chair of Albright Capital Management LLC, an investment advisory firm focused on emerging markets. Dr. Albright was the 64th Secretary of State of the United States.

In 1997, she was named the first female Secretary of State and became, at that time, the highest ranking woman in the history of the U.S. government. As Secretary of State, Dr. Albright reinforced America’s alliances, advocated for democracy and human rights, and promoted American trade, business, labor, and environmental standards abroad. From 1993 to 1997, Dr. Albright served as the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations and was a member of the President’s Cabinet.

Dr. Albright was a Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. She received a B.A. with Honors from Wellesley College, and Master’s and Doctorate degrees from Columbia University’s Department of Public Law and Government, as well as a Certificate from its Russian Institute.
