Nordics have long been international champions of gender equality. The Nordic Region regularly\\xa0 produces outstanding female Presidents, Prime Ministers and business leaders. On average almost three in every four working-age Nordic women are in paid employment, according to the OECD (2018).

However, to be a young female Nordic leader championing gender equality in a very male dominated corporate culture is not an easy task. My guest, Norwegian Silje Barningham, is a very successful HR professional at Jacobs who has been making \\u2018pro-equality\\u2019 waves in the corporate world throughout her career.\\xa0\\xa0

We discuss the attributes and determination she has developed to change the traditional corporate culture to bring Nordic modelled gender equality to her work place.\\xa0 She talks about the resilience and determination she gained as a child living an outdoor life in Norway. Her female leader idols in the 1980\\u2019s included Gro Harlem Brundtland, the first female PM of Norway and the Nordic region.\\xa0

She talks about how the idea of Anorakki came about and how she has been able to bring a piece of Nordic culture to ANZ based on Norwegain \\u201cfritid\\u201d concept.\\xa0
