Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala thrives on challenge. As the first woman and first African to serve as Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Dr. Ngozi is responsible for negotiating seemingly impossible deals on global finance, trade, sustainability, and social welfare. We talk with her about her sense of purpose, values, and her firm belief in the power of trade to lift developing countries out of poverty and help them to achieve economic growth and sustainable development. We\\u2019ll also discuss another key leadership attribute: courage \\u2013 in Dr. Ngozi\\u2019s case, growing up in war-torn Nigeria, taking on some of the world\\u2019s most consequential roles in the public sector, and persevering in her cause even when her mother\\u2019s kidnappers demanded Dr. Ngozi resign. This is a conversation about resolve, duty, and embracing risk you won\\u2019t want to miss.\\xa0
