Kevin Xu Attends Global Book Launch for Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

On June 10, 2025, Kevin Xu, Chairman of MEBO Group, was invited to attend the global launch of A Different Kind of Power, the highly anticipated new book by former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. The event, held in Los Angeles, brought together prominent leaders from government and business circles to explore the evolving landscape of leadership in a rapidly changing world.

Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s 40th and youngest-ever Prime Minister in over 150 years, has continued to inspire global audiences since leaving office. Her post-premiership initiatives include founding the On the Ground Scholarship, a program aimed at cultivating a new generation of globally minded, empathetic leaders.

The book launch marks a continuation of Ardern’s ongoing engagement with global thought leaders—including Kevin Xu. Their connection traces back to the 2021 APEC CEO Summit, where Ardern, as Chair of the host economy New Zealand, extended a personal invitation to Xu. During the summit, they held in-depth discussions on global governance innovation and sustainable development, laying the foundation for an enduring exchange of ideas on values-driven leadership.

Published by Penguin Random House, A Different Kind of Power presents Jacinda Ardern’s distinctive philosophy on leadership, shaped by her personal journey and political career. In the book, she commanded global respect for her empathetic leadership that put people first. This is the remarkable story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt made political history and changed our assumptions of what a global leader can be. The book is now available for pre-order on major platforms worldwide.
