    Jacinda Ardern biography

    The Right Honourable Dame Jacinda Ardern gained recognition for her impactful term as the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand. Embodying an empathetic, inclusive approach to governance at just 37 years old, speaker Jacinda Ardern championed significant policy initiatives and guided her nation through momentous challenges. From confronting a live-streamed domestic terror attack and a volcanic eruption to leading an effective pandemic response, her people-focused leadership style helped New Zealand achieve one of the lowest COVID-19 death rates among developed countries. During this time, she enacted a ban on military-style semi-automatic weapons and co-founded the Christchurch Call to Eliminate Violent Extremism Online, continuing as an active Patron of that initiative.

    Jacinda Ardern also made history by elevating the role of women, seeing New Zealand’s Parliament reach 50% female representation and bolstering gender equity through extended parental leave, decriminalized abortion, and strengthened pay equity measures. Notably, she became only the second woman to give birth while leading a nation.

    After her premiership, political speaker Jacinda Ardern remained committed to “being useful,” exemplified by her fellowship roles at Harvard University. She furthers global efforts for climate action as a board member of The Earthshot Prize and as a Distinguished Fellow at Conservation International. In 2024, she launched Field, a groundbreaking fellowship programme cultivating compassionate leadership in politics and beyond.
