Mina Guli from Melbourne, Australia is the founder and CEO of Thirst Foundation and a global leader committed to protecting the world’s water resources.

Following a successful 15-year career in law, finance and climate change, in 2012 Mina established the aforementioned Thirst Foundation - a non-profit organisation focussed on raising awareness, creating urgency and driving action on water.

Mina is a self-confessed "non-runner" who has run hundred of marathons on every continent of the planet including Antarctica.

She has leveraged the power of the media to connect us to the water crisis, and building a global movement of passionate water advocates in over 202 countries around the world.

Mina has been widely recognised for her leadership on water, including being recognised by Fortune as one of the greatest leaders in the world. She has spoken at the United Nations, and has been regularly featured in major global, local and regional media outlets around the world.

Mina has committed her life to the water crisis because she believes we can be the solution. Mina is completing 200 marathons in one year for RUN BLUE. World Water Run is the last activation in the RUN BLUE marathon and will see Mina completing her 200th marathon in New York City.
