Another fantastic event last Thursday. Our hosts Deloitte organized a wonderful event with Boyan Slat, founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup. In the interview on stage Boyan told us about his mission, ambition and the leadership challenges he experienced as a very young CEO of a big movement. Dean Ilian Mihov gave us an update about the progress of the Business as a Force for Good Campaign which is as much on fire as our Dean was on stage. Thank you all for being there and we hope to see you all May 7th at Eden McCallum!

On Wednesday night the Dutch Alumni gathered in the Westergasfabriek for Giving Dinner, generously hosted by Shell. Celebrating the great results from the Giving Day campaign and thanking everyone for their generosity. Shell’s CFO Jessica Uhl told us about the Dutch skill of forging partnerships, Shell’s role to help this world become more sustainable and the transformation of Shell in that process. In Professor Shipilov’s lecture about Digitalization and Partnerships, we learned how uncommon partnerships drive real innovation. Many thanks to Shell for being our generous host this evening and we hope to see all of you at our next event!
