🚀 Leading a company through #transformation is never just about strategy. It is about people, culture, and #vision. In a recent podcast with Heidrick & Struggles, Ludovic Gaudé, CEO of Avenga and Qinshift, part of KKCG, shares his perspective on what it takes to lead #technology firms through mergers and a fast-shifting IT landscape. “The key to success is creating culture that supports both innovation and performance. To achieve that you have to build a team where collective achievement is more important than individual ambition,” shares Ludovic.  Listen to this conversation with Ludovic Gaudé for an insightful take on the future of #leadership in technology: https://lnkd.in/e6UBuVvb  

🔄 At KKCG, we are committed to finding new ways to make our businesses more #sustainable. In our real estate arm, KKCG Real Estate Group, this means integrating circular economy principles to redefine how buildings are constructed, renovated, and repurposed. One standout project is the #transformation of the former SAZKA building in Prague. "We go beyond mere recycling—we aim to renovate the building using materials that themselves contain a high proportion of secondary raw materials. This applies especially to the façade, where we are considering the use of premium recycled aluminium and glazing with a high content of recycled glass," explains Karel Fronk, ESG Manager at KKCG Real Estate. 🤝🏻 Through partnerships with Cyrkl, CVUT UCEEB, Saint-Gobain, Tarkett, MFS and others, KKCG Real Estate is driving real change in sustainable #development.

A special thank you to Boris Johnson, Oleksandra Matviichuk, Andrew Castle , Michal Lukeš, and Maksym Ostapenko for helping shine a spotlight on this vital cause. We are grateful to our partners from the Czech and Ukraine Ministries of Culture, the Czech National Museum, the Czech National Library, ICOM, and the National Kyiv-Pechersk Historical and Cultural Reserve for their groundbreaking work on the Ark for Ukraine mobile safeguard units – an innovative effort to stem cultural losses caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
