Jerry Pico, Global Advisory Expert at Daiichi Sankyo Co.
The International Board Program provides excellent networking opportunities and a global platform for exploring corporate governance. Meeting directors and executives from four continents was truly stimulating. The learning sessions benefited from diverse inputs, with participants sharing insights from various corporate cultures and experiences. As a result, I felt confident and fully prepared when I applied for my first Board role!
Dr. Karin Funke-Rapp, Founder and Owner of GloNet Communications
The International Board Program develops participants’ board governance expertise. Such competences are essential for supervisory board members and board advisors, especially when leading private firms’ growth across national boundaries. The in-depth discussions throughout the program around key governance questions enriched my professional perspective and sharpened my strategic mindset. An essential foundation to address today’s complex board challenges – with strategic clarity and focus on communication, growth, and impact.
Els Van de Water, Global Head of People Patient Safety and Quality at Philips
Participating in last year’s International Board Program was an invaluable experience. It offered a unique opportunity to connect with global leaders, broaden my strategic vision, and gain a deeper understanding of board roles and governance. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to advance professionally and step into a board-level position!
