Alda is a shrewd observer of Icelandic culture and people and has a deep knowledge of its politics and economics. There are a few others who can explain Iceland to English speakers, but none with quite her insight and accuracy.
Michael Ridpath, novelist
I would highly recommend Alda Sigmundsdóttir as a speaker. Alda spoke to my university students while we were studying in Iceland. Her experience as an Icelander who has lived abroad extensively allows her to provide an ideal perspective for people interested in learning about contemporary Iceland. Whether she was telling about some of the unique aspects of Icelandic culture or describing current political controversies, she kept the students engaged and led an informative discussion. My students rated our time with her as one of their favorite aspects of our trip and I would agree
Brack Hale, Associate Professor, Franklin University Switzerland
As an analyst covering Europe’s economies and markets from 2005 until 2010, I looked into my fair share of crises. Alda’s work was an absolutely invaluable resource when it came to Iceland. Not only did Alda keep me abreast of important developments (well before they might hit the newspapers an outsider would read) – but her analytical and rigorously independent approach gave me the proper context in which to assess these developments. (The views expressed in this testimonial are my own and do not represent my employer’s views.)
