Chrissa Pagitsas Speaker Biography


Chrissa Pagitsas has built a career catalyzing business as usual to drive towards a sustainable and profitable future. A trusted board member and sought-after speaker, Chrissa guides organizations how to move from “blue sky” sustainability and ESG strategies into actual on-the-ground impact.

Her expertise spans building a $51 billion Green Bond portfolio and the enterprise’s ESG strategy at Fannie Mae to crafting public-private partnership with the US EPA and US HUD and engaging with investors on ESG in the US and Europe.

Chrissa is an award-winning thought leader who motivates audiences and readers with the fresh thinking and innovation required for next generation business success at the intersection of business leadership and sustainability. Her most recent publication is Chief Sustainability Officers at Work (Apress, 2022) which provides unprecedented takeaways from 20+ Chief Sustainability Officers and Heads of ESG at Fortune 500 companies on leading through sustainability.

She holds an MBA from the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia, and a BA from Johns Hopkins University.

 

Big Vision into Reality: How to Get It Done
Many people talk about having a big vision, but how many people know how to achieve it? Chrissa knows first-hand what it takes. She pulls back the curtain on the lows and highs of building a $50 billion green finance and real estate business in order to inspire attendees to set their own big visions. But a vision is not enough - she leaves the attendees with a roadmap to accelerate the achievement of their vision. Blending personal experience with global business case studies from Netflix to Fannie Mae, Chrissa shows how to get it done.

The Art of the Calculated Leap: Taking Risks for Success
This dynamic keynote ignites a growth mindset in senior executives to aspiring leaders. By combining data on the benefits of calculated risks with captivating case studies of successful leaders in business and impact, Chrissa equips attendees with a practical framework for strategic risk assessment and confident decision-making. Participants will leave inspired to embrace challenges, navigate uncertainty, and achieve breakthrough results. As a senior executive herself, Chrissa connects with other women executives to show the way forward.
