Success stories

Maurine de Rémont

Business Partner HR at NMLK Europe

My participation in the programme yielded a much higher return on investment than anticipated. On top of that, I was also surprised by the great networking opportunities.

Head of People at KPMG

I can’t believe how much I’ve learned during this programme. My only regret is that I didn’t follow this programme ten years earlier. As soon as the programme started, I felt there was solid ground beneath my feet.
