Lenka Chobotová

Lenka Chobotová (She/Her) is Director of Transformative Leadership and Systems Innovation at the School of International Futures (SOIF), working at the intersection of futures thinking, leadership development, and social transformation.

With over 15 years of experience across non-profit, public, and private sectors, Lenka designs and leads programmes that embed foresight into strategy, build leadership capacity, and pilot systems innovation to address complex challenges related to social justice, environmental regeneration and participatory & anticipatory governance.

Her work is grounded in expanding agency and integrating long-term, systemic perspectives into organisational and sectoral practice. She has cultivated foresight capabilities across the global innovation portfolio of Open Society Foundations, guided strategic reimagination at Kaospilot (a leading school for system leadership and social entrepreneurship), and coached emerging system leaders through Sprout – a radical, power-shifting programme by Ignite Philanthropy to end violence against children.

Previously, she led strategic insight at the LEGO Group’s sustainability and education divisions, amplifying the voices of children and the planet to help catalyse organisation-wide, long-term impact.

A certified coach (EMCC, ICF), foresight practitioner, and Human Systems Dynamics professional, Lenka creates transformative learning spaces that shift mental models and unlock new possibilities. She is fluent in Slovak, Czech, Danish, and English, and passionate about shaping mutual-flourishing futures with – and for – the next generations.
