ELO is pleased to announce that Chris Kutarna will participate in the 2025 ELO Oxford Leadership Program. The Summer 2025 Program will take place from August 10th - 16th.  Started in 2018, the ELO Oxford Leadership Program is a one-week summer executive education offering that continues to be the world’s leading program for Christian marketplace leaders.  

Dr. Chris Kutarna is a distinguished author, TED speaker, and scholar who works at the convergence of politics, society, and global trends. Co-author of the international best-selling book Age of Discovery, and with deep insights into global mega-trends and the shifting geopolitical landscape, Chris captivates audiences worldwide with his visionary talks and workshops. As an Associate Fellow of Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, he designs & delivers workshops on global trends and the shifting geopolitical landscape for Oxford’s most prestigious executive education programs.

His learning organization, NewGeo, works with governments and senior leaders across borders, business and society to unlock new solutions to complex public challenges like the energy transition, immigration, the commercialization of space, and the future of defence.

Chris holds a doctorate in Chinese Politics from the University of Oxford. His Shanghai-based risk advisory boutique, NewGeo(Politics), helps foreign multinationals with significant China exposure to shield their Chinese investments from political and social risk. Prior to founding NewGeo, Chris co-founded Wave Media, a Chinese social media content network focussed on knowledge media content (politics, current affairs, science, business, culture). Today, Wave Media has over 150 million mainland subscribers across its influencer network.

The ELO Leadership Program is held regularly at the University of Oxford, UK. This Program is a week-long learning experience for senior executives, business leaders, and entrepreneurs from around the globe. Expert guest presenters teach throughout the week. Mealtimes are spent connecting and networking with the great cohort of peers that attend. Tours are taken together to view the sites that Oxford has to offer. You don't want to miss out on this incredible opportunity to travel, learn more about your calling, and grow in your faith!
