What do Nate Silver, Chelsea Clinton, will.i.am and Lynsey Addario have in common?
All were just named Young Global Leaders by the World Economic Forum.
Lynsey Addario
The 199 honorees from 70 countries — ranging across business, arts, academia, government, media and non-profits — will be closely involved in the meetings, research and initiatives of the World Economic Forum. They’ll represent the views and interests of “the next generation of leaders.”
All are under 40 years old.
Lynsey — a New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist who has covered everything from the war in Afghanistan and drought in Africa to poverty in Mississippi and sex trafficking in New York — is passionately committed to documenting, and improving, our planet.
She started doing it right here in Westport. Lynsey is a proud graduate of the Staples High School Class of 1999 1991.
And her hometown is rightfully proud of the World Economic Forum’s newest Young Global Leader.
