Industrial executive, humanitarian, and author, Danish-American Flemming Heilmann discusses The Unacceptable Face, a memoir of his mid-20th century encounters with apartheid, socialism, and iterations of capitalism on three continents during a career challenged by corporate and national politics. Clear-eyed, humane, and resilient, Flemming will also discuss some of the hard-earned lessons he learned from his corporate experience which have led him to embrace certain social, economic, and environmental causes, what he calls his hobby horses. He has written, fundraised, and led organizations in the advance of these causes causes he has singled out as crucial to prosperity and social stability.

Flemming was born in 1936 in Malaya of Danish parents. He spent his early childhood there until the threat of a Japanese invasion forced an evacuation to an unknown Australia in 1941. Joined later by his father who escaped Singapore as the city fell, the family spent World War II as refugees. When the war ended in Europe, but before the Japanese capitulation, the family traveled home to Denmark on a troopship, evading kamikaze attacks in the Pacific.

Flemmings peripatetic school years were spent in Australia, Denmark, and the United Kingdom where he attended ten different schools. He spent four uninterrupted years at Gresham, an English boarding school and later graduated from Cambridge University with a law degree. The story of his childhood and education is told in his first book, Odyssey Uncharted.
