Professor Linda Scott

Picture
Linda Scott is DP World Chair for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Linda is best known for her creation of the concept of the Double X Economy – a perspective which describes the global economy of women in both the developed and developing world, and the roles of women not only as consumers, but as investors, donors and workers. She writes a blog called The Double X Economy, as well as blogging for Forbes and Bloomberg, Businessweek on gender issues. 

The Double X Economy concept was featured by a special Financial Times video series called, “Thinking Big” in January 2014. Professor Scott was also a finalist for the Thinkers 50 “Breakthrough Thinker” award for this same work in 2012. Many other world press vehicles, fromThe Economist to BBC, have covered Professor Scott’s research. 

Linda is founder of Power Shift, the Oxford Forum for Women in the World Economy. This select forum brings together 200 leaders from across sectors to think and build partnerships around empowering women economically. 

Professor Scott curates the programme each year. In 2014, the theme was Women and Finance and in 2013, the theme was Women and Entrepreneurship. Professor Scott is on the External Advisory Council to the Walmart Women’s Economic Empowerment Initiative. She is also a Senior Advisor Fellow of the MasterCard Center for Financial Inclusion. Linda also serves on the Access to Markets subcommittee of theInternational Business Women's Leadership Council of the US State Department. She is also currently leading a global initiative to put women’s financial inclusion on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—the #DoubleXPetition. 

Linda is invited to speak at many different venues and to many groups. In July 2014, she was a keynote speaker at the global conference of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. In the fall, she has been invited to speak at the International Finance Corporation and USAID.
