International Speaker in Copenhagen
Rikke V. Stoltz
Inspiring talks for companies, leadership teams, boards and international audiences.
As an international speaker in Copenhagen, Rikke V. Stoltz brings more than 30 years of experience from global business, shipping, offshore wind, company building, leadership and board work.
She spent 13 years with A.P. Møller Maersk and was later part of building the company that became Cadeler, now a publicly listed global leader in offshore wind installation. She also served on Cadeler’s board for six years and currently serves on the board of European Maritime Finance.
Today, Rikke combines international business experience with entrepreneurship, governance and the practical use of AI. Her talks explore what it takes to build something new, lead through change and turn ambitious ideas into real-world results.
Her style is personal, honest and engaging, combining strategic insight with real experience, courage and a touch of Nordic storytelling.

An international speaker in Copenhagen with real-world experience
Each talk is tailored to the audience, purpose and setting. Current themes include:
Practical AI for Leaders
How non-technical leaders, entrepreneurs and board members can use AI as a practical thinking and working partner. Rikke shares concrete lessons from building AI-supported workflows for strategy, research, communication and business development.
From Idea to Reality
What it really takes to move from a promising idea to a company, product or experience that exists in the world. A candid talk about entrepreneurship, execution, resilience and learning while building.
From Maersk to Meaning
Rikke’s journey from international corporate leadership and the global offshore wind industry to entrepreneurship, creative independence and purpose-driven innovation.
Courage in Transition
A deeply personal talk about navigating major change, redefining success and finding the courage to create a new direction when life no longer follows the expected path.
Rikke is also available for keynote talks, fireside conversations, panel discussions, moderation and interactive workshops.
Talks are available in English or Danish and are usually adapted to a duration of 20 to 60 minutes. A talk can be combined with a Q&A, leadership discussion or workshop.
International experience and TEDx insight
Rikke has spoken at international business and TED-related events, including a TED event in Rome. She has delivered talks, presentations and workshops for companies, professional networks and diverse international audiences.
Since 2018, she has been the Curator and License Holder of TEDxFrederiksberg. Together with a dedicated volunteer team, she identifies strong ideas, develops speakers and creates events that bring thoughtful stories and new perspectives to the stage.
This experience gives Rikke a distinctive understanding of both sides of the stage: what an audience needs and what enables a speaker’s message to connect.
