In this session, attendees will hear some of the crucial strategies that got Tine Snels first to the C-suite of a Dutch multinational and then to the board of a MDAX company in Germany.

This session is not about expertise, your college degree or a survey of your professional merits, but rather the sharing of experiences and insights that have made you the professionals you are today.
