Anna Bexell's leadership is defined by experience, insight, and a commitment to uplifting others. As lead of Kearney's Gender, Alliance, and Inclusion Network in Europe and a partner in the firm's Consumer and Retail practice, she has seen firsthand that empowering women starts with standing up for one another and celebrating each other’s successes. For Anna, balance is key—both in work and life. “One of my proudest accomplishments is raising two kind and intelligent kids, along with becoming the first woman partner in the Nordics.” With this perspective, she hopes to inspire women to embrace the value of their own journeys, knowing they don’t have to do it all to be extraordinary, making her a true changemaker. #KearneyWomen #IWD2025
