António Guterres — CEO
I am the ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Since taking office in January 2017, my focus has been to mobilize people and push forward action to address the climate emergency, advance gender equality, and achieve reforms to enhance the UN's efforts to secure peace, sustainable development and human rights. Throughout my life, I have centered my efforts on ensuring human dignity for all; from my early work as a teacher in the outskirts of Lisbon to the years I spent as Prime Minister of Portugal, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and now Secretary-General. I was born in Lisbon in 1949 and graduated from the Instituto Superior Técnico with a degree in engineering.
