Hours After Stealing the Show With Dua Lipa in Cannes, Lewis Hamilton Joins Starbucks’ Chairwoman & Billionaire Boss Toto Wolff as Speaker for Elite Summit

Lewis Hamilton is cruising in his 17th year in F1. In his long journey, the Briton has gone through a sea of emotions. From euphoria to heartbreak, and the journey of getting back up, he’s seen it all. That is what makes him the perfect candidate to share the stage with the likes of the leaders like Mellody Hobson, whose wisdom is worth listening to for aspirational beings.

Sharing the stage with him will also be his team principal, Toto Wolff. This is not the first time Toto is taking part in a business leadership summit. In fact, his management style at Mercedes is so popular that he has earned quite a name for himself in the Ivy League business schools. In fact, earlier this month, he accepted Harvard Business School’s offer to teach as a guest lecturer in their MBA program.

In just a few weeks, Forbes is ready to host its second Iconoclast Summit. The magazine, famous for its intensive coverage of business and finance, announced Hamilton’s acceptance of the invitation online. They also released the names of other speakers that include Robyn Grew, President and incoming CEO of Man Group, Carter Reum, Cofounder & Partner of M13 alongside Mellody Hobson, Ray Dalio, Toto Wolff, David Solomon, Baroness Dambisa Moyo, Anton Levy, and Roy Swan. Hamilton, who was recently spotted attending the Cannes Film Festival with pop icon Dua Lipa, is the newest addition to the speakers’ list.

Founder and Editor at Large, Forbes Iconoclast, Maneet Ahuja said, “This event is fully immersive, not just featuring the influential speakers who will take the stage for meaningful and crucial conversations, but also the world-class networking opportunities and resources available for those in attendance.”

It is no surprise how much Lewis Hamilton adores Mellody Hobson for what she has achieved in life. In fact, she is the reason behind him being a part owner of the NFL side Denver Broncos.

Last year in October, Hamilton appeared in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on his popular late-night show. He talked about his relationship with NFL and narrated the story about how Ariel Investments co-CEO and Starbucks Chairwoman Mellody Hobson, told him about the opportunity of owning the Broncos.

He said, “Mellody Hobson called me and said she had this amazing opportunity and would I like to be a part of it, and I jumped at it.”

“There’s a real lack of black ownership [in the NFL], and I’m pushing for diversity constantly. There’s a lot of work to do and I’m really proud to be part of it,” he added.

Surely the two will have enough experiences and wisdom to share on such a big stage. So will Wolff, whose team is currently going through a slump. It will be nice to listen to how he plans to get them out of it.
