Her personal experience as the daughter of Harald Malmgren, aide to John F.
Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford, set the stage for her to take on global issues with a natural curiosity, leading her to some of the highest offices in the world. Her path to the White House was complete when Dr Malmgren served President George W. Bush as Special Assistant to the President and on the Economic Council, advising on the Enron scandal and terrorism risks to the economy post-9/11.
She was until 2019, a Non-Executive Board Member of the Department of
International Trade in the UK, and has served in the British Ministry of Defense Working Group on Global Strategic Trends and briefed Britain’s top Generals at Sandhurst.

This draws on her own experience as an economist, having previously served as Deputy Head of Global Strategy at UBS.

Always seeking stimulating ways to apply her expertise, she co-founded an industrial drone manufacturing firm which won the Cog X Award for Autonomy, the 2020 National Technology Award and Power Product of the Year 2020. Cognizant of the ever-increasing importance of socio-environmental responsibility, Pippa is on the board of the Premios Verdes, the ‘Green Oscars’ which recognizes companies and institutions using tech for environmental good.
As the award-winning author of four books, she is well-placed to synthesize complex concepts into ideas that an audience will want to take away. Pippa is a regular guest anchor on CNBC and a regular commentator on the BBC including on The Today Program, Newsnight, Hard Talk. In 2015 she took part in the Intelligence Squared debate, titled The Robots are Coming and They Will Steal Our Livelihoods, in which she emerged victorious in a debate on how robots and AI will affect the workforce in the future.
