Fenya and Axel
Generations in leadership: mother and son on learning and growing at TIAS
Although their careers began in different ways, both Fenya and her son Axel chose to pursue a master’s degree at TIAS. Fenya completed the Master of Health Administration to deepen her understanding of strategic leadership in healthcare, while Axel enrolled in the full-time Master in Management after earning his bachelor’s degree, laying the foundation for a career in project management. In conversation, they explore how their generations view learning, work, and leadership differently: younger professionals value autonomy and speed, while more experienced professionals bring depth and a broader perspective. They believe this combination is essential in an increasingly complex world. Even after completing their programs, TIAS continues to be a source of knowledge, inspiration, and connection for both of them.

Emotion and Technology: Valuation in a Changing World
Astrid is an alumna of the Executive Master of Business Valuation (2022). She spoke with Joy van der Veer about the responsibility of valuation professionals to carefully weigh all relevant factors in a valuation—from the numbers and methods to industry context, AI, and ESG criteria. How do you put that into practice in cases of sale, transfer, or succession, when intuition and technique both challenge and complement each other?
