On Friday, October 29th, U.Va. alumna Fields Wicker-Miurin (Col ’80) will provide remarks on leadership during this enrichment series event, hosted at the Jefferson Scholars’ Foundation Hall. If you are interested in attending this event, please contact Pat Ingram.
Fields Wicker-Miurin wants to improve the quality and impact of leadership worldwide by discovering leaders in unique, local settings and connecting them with one another.
She is co-founder of Leaders’ Quest, an organization that brings together leaders from around the world to learn about key trends in their regions, and to explore their role as leaders. Through regional “Quests,” leaders learn how their efforts are interconnected and have the potential to improve the world at the global level, too. Leaders’ Quest is cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, and multi-generational.
Her own interest in interdisciplinary and multi-generational leadership has developed over an international business career spanning different industries and countries, and never following a linear or traditional path. She is dedicated to being a bridge between different worlds and perspectives, to enabling leaders to grow through a deepened understanding of the world and themselves and to inspiring people to be ‘good ancestors’.
Wicker-Miurin is also a director of CDC Group, a UK development finance institution, and Savills, an international property advisory company. She frequently speaks and writes about 21st-century leadership issues, and is a Governor of King’s College London. Fields has degrees from the University of Virginia, l’Institut d’Etudes Politiques (Paris), and the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and speaks French and Italian fluently.
