What a privilege to interview Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, one of the top candidates for the next WTO Director General.

Drawing on her background leading anticorruption and transparency reform efforts as Nigeria’s Finance Minister and her experience rising to one of the highest positions in the World Bank, Dr. Ngozi explained why she is well-suited to potentially lead the WTO during a time when many are calling for change. Dr. Ngozi also reflected on her own career experiences as a prominent female leader and offered advice to the audience.
