Carl Farberger is a man with an impressive résumé: course number one in the lumpen, double degrees, Freemason, husband, CEO, father. He has fought hard and long to acquire a position, power, and status. But one day, Carl is forced to confront the question he's been trying to push away for half a life: Who am I?
Caroline Farberger talks about a childhood marked by feelings of shame, about a career in costume, and about a huge drive to follow a life script with direction straight forward at all costs. Because beyond the well-directed script brooded something that wasn't allowed to be mentioned.
Caroline Farberger's story is about risking everything to live as who you are -- how high the price can be and why it's still worth it. On the other side, Caroline found a deeper understanding both of herself and of the power structures that shape our lives and our business community.
"Caroline is a professional chairperson and board member, Tech Investor, experienced CEO, keynote speaker and author. Up until 2022, she was CEO of the Swedish insurer ICA Insurance, having spent a total of 25 years in the financial industry on several senior management positions. In addition to her line management experience, Caroline has also been a dot-com entrepreneur and consultant with McKinsey.
Caroline is the first senior business leader in the Nordics to speak openly about her gender transition, having formerly lived as Carl Farberger. Consequently, Caroline has become an advocate and ambassador for diversity and inclusive leadership."
