Corinna Hörst is widely known in Brussels as a deputy director and senior fellow of The German Marshall Fund of the United States’ Brussels office. In addition, she is also an advocate for women’s empowerment. She is a co-founder of The Brussels Binder (an online database of female policy experts), until recently President of the Brussels branch of Women in International Security (WIIS) and co-author of book “Women Leading The Way in Brussels” with Claudia Calderhina. In the conversation with Corinna, Lucia Kleštincová goes beyond the obvious subjects. This is the first time Corinna speaks about her engagement after she’s been out for some time due to a burnout. She openly shares about this experience and lessons she drew in order to find a new balance as a senior professional, policy maker, activist and a single mom.
