  • Restoring Trust: Leadership in an Age of Disruption

    Restoring Trust: Leadership in an Age of Disruption
    Mar 26 2026
    Kirsty Graham, CEO of Edelman U.S., draws on three decades in global policy and communications to unpack the findings of the Edelman Trust Barometer and why leaders today must act as “trust brokers.” In an age when AI can mimic us, she argues, leaders must become better at being human. She reflects on why workplaces have become “islands of civility” and how corporate leaders can rebuild trust at scale. Kirsty previously spent 16 years in New Zealand’s Foreign Service and a decade in senior global roles at Pfizer. Since joining Edelman in 2020, she has held multiple leadership positions and now serves on the firm’s Global Executive Leadership Team.
