Helle Thorning-Schmidt is one of few females in the world who has managed to make it to the top job in the political sphere. Helle Thorning-Schmidt was the 26th Prime Minister of Denmark, serving from 2011 to 2015. Since leaving office she’s been CEO of Save the Children, and more recently joined Facebook as co-chair of their oversight group. She also works on Health and Sustainable Development for Europe for the World Health Organisation and splits her time between Denmark and the UK - in particular, South Wales, where her husband Stephen Kinnock is MP. Those of you who enjoy social media may recall her selfie between Barack Obama and David Cameron at Nelson Mandela's memorial.
