Invitation: Kasper Zwetsloot (felyx) and Taco Rijssemus (idtv) at online INSEAD alumni event

COVID-19: how did business leaders respond when their industry changed overnight?

Over the last few months all of us, governments, businesses and individuals faced a very different world than the one we were expecting, as COVID-19 swept the globe. In this webinar we learn from business leaders who saw their business change overnight and had to respond on the fly. What was their approach? What worked and what went wrong? And what changes do they think will be permanent in the “new normal”?

In this series we look into these challenges from the perspective of a scale-up and a more established company, and so we are very happy that Taco Rijssemus, the CEO of idtv and Kasper Zwetsloot, COO of felyx will be sharing their insights with us.
