Join Us at the GTC Conference 2024 in Milan: Mastering Controversy Roadmaps for MNEs

I am thrilled to announce that I will be speaking at the prestigious GTC Conference 2024 in Milan, Italy, scheduled for June 7, 2024. This event promises to be an enlightening experience, providing deep insights into the complexities of managing multinational enterprises (MNEs).

At the conference, I will be sharing insights alongside the esteemed Steef Huibregtse.
