Arianna Huffington

Arianna Huffington, originally from Greece, moved to England at age 16 and later graduated from Cambridge University with an M.A. in economics. At 21, she became president of the Cambridge Union, a prestigious debating society. Her career took a significant turn when she collapsed from sleep deprivation and exhaustion in 2007, which deepened her interest in the connection between well-being and performance. This led her to launch Thrive Global in 2016, aiming to help individuals, companies, and communities enhance their well-being and performance. Huffington works closely with leaders across various scientific disciplines related to burnout. She has authored 15 books, including notable titles such as ‘Thrive’ and ‘The Sleep Revolution.’ Her influence and contributions have earned her spots on Time Magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people and the Forbes Most Powerful Women list.
