Take your Seat at the Table – Zurich
What does it really take to move into the Boardroom? The answer was at our event!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this engaging discussion on board leadership, governance, and the realities of building a board career.
Our speakers shared valuable insights into how boardrooms are evolving and what boards are looking for in today’s environment. Special thanks to Pascal Hubli from Schellenberg Wittmer for hosting us and for his contribution to the panel discussion; Thomas Huggler from Universitätsklinik Balgrist and Ludger J. Schwinn from Korn Ferry for their insights; and our moderator, AusCham President, Vicki Tanner.
Among the key takeaways:
🔹 Invest in your network – Give first, ask thoughtful questions, and don’t limit yourself to the same events or circles. Step outside your comfort zone and broaden your connections. What better way to do this then be part of Australian Swiss Chamber of Commerce?! Explore membership opportunities on https://www.australianchamber.ch/membership/
🔹 Do your due diligence – Before joining a board, understand the organisation’s financial position and ensure appropriate Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance is in place.
🔹 Build your network from a position of strength – The best time to invest in relationships is when you’re busy and thriving, not when you’re looking for your next opportunity.
We were also honoured to welcome H.E. Elizabeth Day, Australian Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Australian Embassy, Switzerland, who provided an excellent recap on the discussions.
Before attendees had the opportunity to network, mingle, and enjoy a glass or two of Australian and Swiss wine, we were delighted to hear from Rosanna Cubelli, Co-Founder of Millennials4Boards, who shared her insights on board careers and outlined the organisation’s mission. Congratulations to the three lucky guests who won tickets to the Millennials4Boards 1st Anniversary Celebration on 1st September in Zurich.
