Clare Melford
Clare Melford was the CEO of the International Business Leaders Forum[1] from November 2010[2] until she stepped down in November 2012.[3]
She graduated from Oxford University and trained as a management consultant at Marakon Associates. She worked as general manager for MTV Nordic for eight years.[4][5] She took a leadership role in the transition of the European Council on Foreign Relations to independent status from previously being a part of George Soros' Open Society Foundations.[1]
She has been CEO of the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a not-for-profit organisation which provides disinformation risk ratings, but in 2020 the subject was listed as secretary with no compensation in federal tax filings.[6][7][8]
She explained in a talk delivered to the Royal Society of Arts that it was while she was general manager of the Nordic region of MTV that she developed a critical understanding of how the media station provided a supportive selling environment for unsustainable lifestyles, which led to her giving up that position and becoming interested in Buddhism.[9]
