Our ForTheFounders network has showcased some sensational leaders over the past few years and this session brings together 3 CEOs for a discussion about what our employees are looking for in a leader in an uncertain climate. What do we need from our leaders? How important is it for our leaders to be the champions of ethical practices? How we are navigating some of the continued challenges with an ever-growing remote workforce? Join Rasmus Bjerregaard (CEO at Januar), Rui Casais (CEO at Funcom) & Markus Kroeger (Founder & CEO at PANION) for an open and candid conversation, with an insight into what it really takes to lead a growing organisation.

What does a ‘thriving’ culture actually mean? Are we focusing on business success, team collaboration or individual achievements? Join Paul Murphy - Chief People Officer at Laser Digital, Abhishek Rai - CTO at Vivy GmbH, and Sonja Sinterhauf - Strategic Projects, People Ops at Miro (at the time of recording) as they navigate the topic. Long-term success can be defined by an effective culture with this having knock-on effects on attracting and retaining top talent, boosting employee engagement and improving productivity. As we look to the other side of uncertain times and economies (hopefully) start to bounce back, many organisations will be looking to scale again. What is the culture you are hoping to achieve? When do you define the moment to bring in the talent and make the right hires? How do we bring our existing employees on the ‘new journey’? How do we ensure we fail fast and build quickly? Join 3 established leaders in the world of growth for an interactive discussion on one of the most challenging themes out there.
