EMBA Leadership Conversations in Amsterdam
De Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club Amsterdam, Dam 27 1012 JS, Amsterdam, NLFor many internationally minded professionals in the Netherlands, the next career step can feel uncertain. Moving into a broader leadership role, switching industries, or transitioning into general management often involves more complexity than expected, especially in an international environment.
The Executive MBA Leadership Conversations, hosted by Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, provides a space to explore these questions in an open and reflective setting.
Taking place at the Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club in Amsterdam, this event brings together experienced, globally oriented professionals to discuss leadership development, career transitions, and long-term positioning.
Rather than a traditional programme presentation, the session is designed as an honest, interactive conversation about leadership realities and navigating career growth in an international context.
Location: Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club, Dam 27, 1012 JS Amsterdam
