Fridtojf Nansen
of Norway. He is the most influential,

each of these leaders have different policies and
outlooks on life, it is encouraging to see they share
common traits like a collaborative approach to their
work and a hopeful vision of the future.

Richard Branson.
What would Linkedin be without
his infectious positivity and default happy face? He
has experienced the highs and lows, but somehow

remain incredibly motivated, and sincerely enjoy
everything life has to offer.
