Liv Boeree      

Professional Poker Player, Science Communicator, Television Presenter & Games Specialist; Co-Founder of Raising for Effective Gaming & Ambassador for Longview Philanthropy

Liv Boeree is a self-confessed nerd with a first class degree in astrophysics. She combined her science background and passion for games to become one of the most recognizable faces in professional poker. She was the #1 ranked female player from 2014-2016, and holds both European Poker Tour and World Series of Poker championship titles after winning more than $4 million on the international circuit.

Boeree is also a keen philanthropist, and in 2014 co-founded Raising for Effective Giving (REG), a research and advisory non-profit that uses the philosophies and strategies of Effective Altruism to identify and raise money for the most globally impactful charities.

Since retiring from professional poker in 2018, Boeree is now focused on education, keen to inspire others with the rational thinking techniques she has learned through both poker and Effective Altruism.
