Louisa Loran is a powerful voice on leadership, transformation, and the future of business. Drawing on two decades of executive experience at DIAGEO, MAERSK, and Google, she brings audiences inside the real decisions that shape industries—where technological foresight meets the courage to act before the path is clear.

At Google, Louisa launched a billion-dollar supply chain solutions business, doubled growth in a global industry vertical, and led transformation for the company’s largest EMEA customers. At MAERSK, she co-authored the strategy that moved 100,000 colleagues and 20% of global freight, shifting the company from low-margin shipping to higher-value logistics and more than doubling its share price. Earlier, at Moët Hennessy and DIAGEO, she built iconic brands and drove innovation where heritage meets the digital age—insights she now shares on balancing legacy, disruption, and reinvention.

Today, Louisa advises executives and aspiring leaders navigating complex transitions and serves on the boards of CataCap Private Equity and Copenhagen Business School, a top 20 global business school. Her forthcoming book, Leadership Anatomy in Motion (Fast Company Press, 2025), equips leaders to align ambition with clarity, technology with humanity, and pace with presence.

Known for distilling complexity into decisive direction, Louisa delivers keynotes that energize, challenge, and equip leaders to expand their impact. Audiences leave with sharper focus, practical insights, and renewed courage to lead transformation with both commercial edge and human depth.

Topics:

  • The lens through which leaders choose to look defines the ceiling of what they can achieve. Transformation is never abstract -it happens through people. Louisa Loran challenges leaders to cut through noise, help others find their role in change, and turn direction into momentum. Drawing on senior leadership roles across industries, she shows how to combine commercial discipline with human depth. Audiences leave with sharper focus, renewed courage, and practical ways to accelerate transformation that lasts.

  • In a world where geopolitics, markets, and technology collide, leadership cannot be outsourced to events. The leaders who thrive are those who define the narrative before others write it for them. Louisa Loran brings a global perspective shaped by work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology across continents and industries. She equips executives to see patterns where others see noise, to make choices that set direction, and to act with presence when volatility is at its peak. When learning is tied to a shared ambition rather than passive exposure, it becomes transformational -not just informational. It forges collective direction at the very moment volatility tempts fragmentation.

  • Digitalization and AI are rewriting the rules of business, but technology only creates value when leaders know how to wield it. Having led transformation at Google, Maersk, and Diageo, Louisa Loran offers a candid view of what it takes to bridge technology and business. With first-hand insight into AI’s rise, she shows how to separate signal from noise, build ecosystems that multiply value, and harness technology without losing human judgment. The organizations that succeed are those that turn digital tools into collective intelligence -making technology amplifying, not overwhelming.

  • (specifically targeted at Aspiring leaders)

    Many emerging leaders know instinctively that the old playbooks no longer fit. But rejecting them outright doesn’t open doors -it can close them. What creates real momentum is the ability to bridge fresh thinking with the experience already in the room. Louisa Loran speaks candidly about how aspiring leaders can step up to responsibility, build credibility without losing authenticity, and lead with presence rather than perfection. She equips them to claim space with confidence and to use difference as an advantage. Because the future of leadership won’t be won by one generation over another -it will be built in the bridge between them.
