Board members are selected for their ability to bring real-world insight and forward-thinking vision to the table. This ensures that LEAD26 delivers the most relevant stories, highest quality talks, and actionable perspectives for decions-makers in both Swiss and global organizations. Grounded at the convergence of Technology, Transformation, and Leadership, the board curates a program that equips today’s leaders to navigate complexity and architect the future.
