They bring extensive experience in helping leaders navigate cultural complexity, foster inclusion, and lead effectively across diverse markets. 

Programme Director

Erin Meyer
Erin Meyer’s work focuses on how the world's most successful managers navigate the complexities of cultural differences in a global environment. She is the author of the international best-selling book The Culture Map and the program director for INSEAD’s open-enrollment program Leading Across Borders and Cultures. Living and working in Africa, Europe, and the United States prompted Erin's study of the communication patterns and business systems of different parts of the world. Her Culture Map framework allows international executives to pinpoint their leadership preferences, and compare their methods to the management styles of other cultures. More recently Erin conducted an in-depth study with Reed Hastings, Co-Founder and CEO of Netflix, investigating the underlying principles necessary for building a corporate culture that is inventive, fast, and flexible. The results of that research were published in their book: 'No Rules Rules' (Penguin Press, September 2020) which became an instant New York Times best seller and was short-listed for the FT book of the year award.. In 2025, Erin was listed by the Thinkers50, as one of the fifty most impactful business writers in the world and in 2018 she was selected by HR magazine as one of the top 30 most influential HR thinkers of the year. An American living in Paris, Erin began her career teaching English students in Botswana as a Peace Corps volunteer and later working with Asian immigrants in the United States. Prior to INSEAD Erin was a Director of Training and Development at HBOC and a Director of Business Operations at McKesson Corporation. She frequently gives keynote speeches and runs seminars for organizations such as the World Bank, the United Nations, Google, Johnson & Johnson, Toshiba, Twitter, Sinopec, Gerdau, KPMG, Michelin, Deutsche Bank, Heineken, L'Oréal, ExxonMobil, Novo Nordisk, and BNP Paribas.
