PROFILE

Emma Adolfsson has an international background in IT both as a management consultant (Deloitte and IBM) and as a leader at a number of organizations. Adolfsson worked as the global head of Enterprise Architecture at the Carlsberg Group, the world’s fourth largest brewery. At the time she joined Carlsberg, employees had stressful work lives and spent a lot of their time worrying that they didn’t have control over their situations. Adolfsson was part of the team that brought in a corporate-based mindfulness program and worked closely with it. Over time, it significantly improved the lives of employees at Carlsberg in both their approach to work and in their personal lives–results that were documented by an outside researcher.
