Dare to grow – M&A as an enabler
Dinner with the leaders
How to create growth via M&A in a muted economic environment? How can companies unlock growth when the economy slows down? What role do mergers and acquisitions play in reshaping industries and transforming businesses?
Join us for an exclusive evening of insights, conversation, and connection. Former Sanoma President & CEO, Susan Duinhoven – now a board member at KONE and Kemira – will share her perspectives on driving transformation and growth through M&A. With a career spanning leadership roles across Europe and more than a decade as CEO of Sanoma, Susan brings a wealth of experience in navigating change.
The evening begins with fresh perspectives on the economic outlook from Nordea’s economist Juho Kostiainen, followed by an intimate fireside interview with Susan. Afterward, continue the discussion around the table during a curated dinner with fellow listed company leaders.
