In the dynamic landscape of business, corporate ownership and governance are often overlooked as technicalities best left to legal and financial experts. However, in this exclusive masterclass, Professor Hans van Oosterhout, a distinguished authority in Corporate Governance at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, will illuminate the pivotal role these factors play in shaping the destiny of firms. Whether you’re a seasoned executive navigating the complexities of established organisations or a visionary entrepreneur charting the course for a startup, this masterclass offers guidance on how to craft a tailored ownership and governance strategy that not only safeguards your enterprise but also propels it towards sustained growth and profitability.
