Arianna Huffington is the founder and CEO of Thrive, a leading behavior-change tech company with the mission of changing the way we work and live by ending the collective delusion that burnout is the price we must pay for success. She’s also the founder of The Huffington Post and the author of 15 books.

Originally from Greece, she moved to England when she was 16 and graduated from Cambridge University with an M.A. in economics. At 21, she became president of the famed debating society the Cambridge Union.

Huffington has been named to Time‘s list of the world’s 100 most influential people and Forbes’ Most Powerful Women list. She serves on numerous boards, including those for Onex and The B Team.

Her last two books, Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being and Wisdom, and Wonder and The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night At A Time, both became instant international bestsellers. Most recently, she wrote the foreword to Thrive’s first book Your Time to Thrive: End Burnout, Increase Well-being, and Unlock Your Full Potential with the New Science of Microsteps.
