Change in keynote speaker
We would like to inform you of a change in our keynote speaker. As Hein Schumacher has recently stepped down as CEO of Unilever, he will no longer be able to join us for this event.
We are, however, very pleased to announce that Jacques van den Broek will be stepping in as our keynote speaker. Jacques brings a wealth of experience as Supervisory Board Member at CM.com and former CEO of Randstad, where he led the company through a decade of global transformation and growth.
In addition, for alumni we have organized an exclusive pre-event alumni lecture by Filip Caeldries on “Building a Strategically Agile Organization.” For those of you who have fond memories of his lectures, this is a great opportunity to relive the experience and deepen your strategic insights.
