Christine Farrell is the first leader to step into the Chief Executive role after the company’s founders. She has guided WSB through some of the most challenging inflection points in its history, including the financial crisis and subsequent industry shifts, while protecting the values that have defined the organization from its inception.
Before becoming CEO, Christine built a remarkable career as one of the most successful agents in the industry. In that role, she helped shape long-term strategies for speakers across business, politics, and academia. Her ability to understand what audiences value, anticipate client needs, and elevate talent established her as a trusted partner to both speakers and event decision makers.
Today, she champions a culture rooted in service, collaboration, and human connection. Under her leadership, WSB continues to strengthen its global impact, deepen its partnerships, and deliver experiences consistent with the brand’s storied history.
Christine is a graduate of the University of Maryland. She lives in Northern Virginia with her husband, David, and is the proud parent of two grown children. Faith and family remain central to her life, and she is active in her community and philanthropic endeavors.
