Covid. War. Recession. What’s next? We’re certainly going through unique and challenging times.

However, what hold us together as an alumni community is the INSEAD spirit. The belief that, as leaders, we can drive global innovation and positive change through business.

As we’re one community, let’s gather once again in our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on May 30th. It will be a great moment to reconnect with fellow alumni, discuss the current activities of the National Alumni Association in the Netherlands, and share some bites and drinks!

During the AGM, we’ll also have an exciting keynote speech by Wendy van Ierschot on the topic of People & Culture in Fast-growing Organisations.

Starting a company is a big step, scaling a company is a real challenge. Wendy shares with us her knowledge, based on the book she wrote – “Scale-ups & Downs”. She will start with what is needed from founder teams to lead their companies to success, elaborate on why a vibrant scale-up culture works best, and end with why priorities in the HR field should change in each stage of growth and should not necessarily depend on what employees ask for.

Wendy van Ierschot is entrepreneur, tech investor, bestseller author and CEO of VIE People, a People & Culture consultancy firm specialized in scale-ups. Every week she makes the podcast Werkprofessor (Work professor) for the Dutch National Business Radio News Station (BNR). She is a well-known public speaker and appears in many international top-HR-expert lists.
