  • How does
    it work?

This is not just another award, nor do you have to be a senior tenured executive to be considered. It doesn’t matter if you have a quarter of a decade of experience or just started out, your title, level or age aren’t relevant, because what matters is your impact. All shortlisted candidates will have an opportunity to meet each other during the informal breakfast event hosted in Amsterdam on 9th March 2026.
