Speaker

Georgette Mosbacher is co-chair of Three Seas programming at the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center. She is also an internationally recognized entrepreneur, author, public speaker, philanthropist, and diplomat. From 2018 to 2020, she was the first woman to serve as the United States ambassador to Poland.

As ambassador, she led on top diplomatic and security issues in Central European, including tireless advocacy of the Three Seas Initiative. Supported by the Atlantic Council, the Three Seas Initiative is devoted to fostering economic growth, strengthening transatlantic ties, and countering the malign influence of Russia and China in the Central European region.

Previously, Mosbacher negotiated with the US International Development Finance Corporation for a Three Seas Initiative Fund. The one-billion-dollar fund is focused on developing cross border energy, transport, and digital infrastructure in Central Europe, further integrating Central and Western Europe. Also, intent on spurring private-sector investment in the region, she convened the Atlantic Council, the Three Seas Initiative Fund’s investment advisor (Amber Infrastructure), and the regional US Chambers of Commerce, starting a process that continues today. Along with fellow co-chair General James L. Jones, she leads the Atlantic Council’s public-private infrastructure initiative and its first-ever infrastructure project in Central Europe.
