THROWBACK
Leading Together: SERIES' WOMEN in Lille
On 22–25 March, the SERIES' WOMEN gathered in Lille for their fourth module to explore the topic “Navigating the Current World of Business, Leadership and Entrepreneurship” together with the wonderful Thea Mikkelsen.
Two days filled with well-grounded insights into leadership models and strategies —alongside honest conversations, shared experiences, and the kind of open dialogue that can only emerge when a group is truly committed to creating a safe space together. Thank you all for making exactly that possible.
We then joined the SERIES MANIA FORUM, the industry meeting point for series professionals, where we reconnected with partners and colleagues for what was, as always, a rich and energising moment of exchange.
One more module to go, and this edition has flown.
For those who missed out: a new edition is on its way, with applications opening in May. Stay tuned.
