Conference at IMD: Navigating Challenges in Scale-ups between Investors, Board Members and Founders

The registration deadline has expired.

Leadership challenges in fast moving Start-ups and Scale-ups are particularly unpredictable! The Board Chair in such companies needs to proactively navigate risk and manage stakeholders, such as owners, founders, management team, regulators and of course global uncertainties.
 

We are pleased to invite you to an event organized by IMD:
