The world's most experienced peacekeeper
Considered the most experienced peacekeeper in the world, Major-General (Ret.) Lewis MacKenzie encapsulates what being a leader truly is.
It was in Sarajevo that his superior leadership skills and courage came to the fore. At the start of the Bosnian Civil War he created and assumed command of Sector Sarajevo and, in the midst of a brutal civil war, with a contingent of troops from 31 nations, and under fire from all sides, managed to open the Sarajevo airport for the delivery of humanitarian aid.
His expertise on conflict resolution combined with the courage to think for himself in a crisis, an unconventional streak a mile wide, a natural talent for storytelling and genuine charisma make his great stories even more compelling. Simply put, Lewis MacKenzie gives one of the most thought-provoking presentations you’ll ever hear.
