Seaside : Meaningful Entrepreneurship & Becoming Net Positive
June 29, 2023
During the 11th edition of the Seaside Dinner, we will discuss how you as a manager can play an important role in delivering ecological and social value. Sander de Kramer, journalist and social entrepreneur, shares his inspiring story about the importance of meaningful entrepreneurship. In addition, with the help of two panelists (Corine Duchenne-Reijnierse, Managing Director at Praxis and Merel Goossens, SVP of HR at Adyen) and everyone in the audience, we will discuss how companies can become “net positive” by giving more to the world then take them. Emphasize how such a transition can benefit the organization and thereby strengthen its competitive position.
The evening is moderated by Ynzo van Zanten. Ynzo is the former Chief Evangelist and Head of People & Culture at Tony’s Chocolonely, launched the English brand ‘Innocent Drinks’ on the European continent, taught Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Leadership at the HvA, and advises multiple organisations in the field of sustainability and communication. He uses his broad experience to guide and facilitate a lively discussion during this evening.
We warmly invite you to attend the Seaside Dinner 2023 and meet other peers during the evening.
