What is the key to Denmark’s reputation abroad and how can Danish values help solve the global challenges of today? 

The Global Denmark Podcast is back with hosts Ed Ley and Thomas Mulhern exploring these issues and more with András Simonyi.

András has an intimate knowledge of Denmark; having both lived and written extensively on the Danish society.  In addition, he has served as Hungary’s first permanent representative on the NATO council, and was ambassador to the United States for 5 years. 

Join the conversation as we gather important lessons for and from Denmark from a leader who has dedicated his life to building bridges between Denmark, Europe and The United States.
