Daria “Dasha” Krivonos is the CEO of Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies
(CIFS). An economist by training but a curious soul by nature, Dasha believes
that staying abreast of current developments and looking beyond the immediate
planning horizon is equally essential for maneuvering an organization through
uncertainties of the future. Having grown up behind the iron curtain, has endowed
Dasha with a natural geopolitical curiosity and a nuanced perspective of
the interplay in international relations. Prior to joining CIFS, Dasha’s experience
includes working for the Chief Economist and heading up Enterprise Risk Management
at the Maersk Group. Dasha has worked broadly with economics of
global trade, energy markets and strategic, operational and project-oriented risk
management. She has also supported Mærsk management in their participation
at the World Economic Forum’s annual summit in Davos.

Dasha’s broad knowledge of both megatrends and societal development patterns,
combined with professional experience demonstrate. Dasha’s proficiency
in applying research directly to concrete realities and the challenges that companies
and organisations face.

Dasha has coauthored a number of reports on topics such as geopolitics, future
of global trade, transformation of trust and worked extensively with the topics of
sustainability and climate change.
