There are moments in life that leave an imprint on your soul, and this event—the 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 & 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 2025—will forever be one of those for me. The journey to this monumental moment wasn’t just about organizing an event; it was about dedicating ourselves fully to something bigger than any one of us. For weeks, we poured our hearts into this—late nights, countless hours, brainstorming, and sacrifices. The sweat, the effort, the pressure—it all paid off the second we saw over 1000+ of India’s most influential leaders, from tycoons and CXOs to ambassadors and industry giants, gathered under one roof at the iconic JW Marriott. The air was electric. The stakes were high. And the conversations that ignited were nothing short of transformative. From the smallest detail to the grandest gesture, every piece of this puzzle was crafted with love, dedication, and a belief in something bigger. Abhinav Pachpor, Adv . Neeraj Mahajan, Nipa Dasgupta, and rohit satpute—your unwavering support and hard work made this dream a reality. To Zeeshaan Pathan, Sheikh Ayub, and Heval Mehta, your leadership, words of encouragement, and the warmth of your smiles kept us going when we thought we couldn’t push any further. Now, looking back and seeing the powerful connections made, the trailblazers honored, and the conversations that will shape the future of corporate governance, I know every ounce of hard work and determination was worth it. This wasn’t just an event. This was a legacy. A milestone in corporate governance. A testament to what a team can achieve when they come together with a shared vision and pour every bit of energy into making it a reality. #CorporateGovernanceExcellence #LeadershipLegacy #VisionToReality #Trailblazers #TransformativeConversations #BusinessLeadership #MilestoneMoment #SummitSuccess #LegacyInTheMaking

Back from the International business class, taught by the fantastic Professor Bonnie J. Covelli from University of St. Francis, who provided us with invaluable insights into global business strategies. 🌍 Throughout the course, we explored frameworks like CAGE, PESTLE, and the Diamond model to assess global expansion strategies. These tools help evaluate political, economic, sociocultural, and geographical factors. But as we dived into case studies, visited Innomotics’s (formerly Siemens) manufacturing site in Drásov near Brno, and engaged in discussions with invited speakers (Lisa Sampalis, MBA, Steven Streit, Joseph Ferrallo, Ph.D., Jan Michael Jensen, Erika Voogd, Dr. David L. Schreiner, Ph. D., FACHE, Princess Clemente, Jordan Ruiz), one fundamental truth stood out: The ability to understand people is everything. 👥 International business isn’t just about strategy, risk assessments, or market entry. It’s about cultural intelligence 💡 — the ability to navigate diverse cultural landscapes. Building trust, cooperation, and meaningful connections is what truly makes global business work. Our discussions highlighted the importance of adaptability and agility in partnerships. 🤝 Collaboration requires shared responsibilities and value alignment. Business is about people—embracing the “let’s have a coffee” mindset to foster connections. ☕ We also learned that ‘If nothing changes, nothing changes’—a powerful reminder that learning and flexibility are essential for growth. 🚀 Looking ahead, these lessons will stick with us. Whether moving from corporate intrapreneurs to entrepreneurs, leading international teams, or navigating new markets, it’s our cultural intelligence, adaptability, and relationship-building that will make the biggest impact. The frameworks give us structure, but at the end of the day, it’s all about people! 🙌 Feeling grateful for this journey and for the incredible classmates who made it even more special: Prathamesh Chavan, Gabrijela Grgača, Vojtech Marada, Jozef Sondor, Pavel Kovář, Peter Gucky, Jakub Rosypal, Zdenek Havlicek, Michal Kostka, Tomas Potmesil, Hynek Sadovský, Tomáš Brázdil, Jan Bezdíček, Josef Vaculík, Pavel Pyskaty, Jan F. #InternationalBusiness #CulturalIntelligence #GlobalLeadership #Networking #Adaptability #MBAJourney

🌟 A Serendipitous Encounter with George Yeo 🌟 Yesterday, I had an unexpected and delightful bump into none other than George Yeo! 🎉 For those who may not know, George Yeo is a former Singaporean politician and a respected thought leader. He has held numerous significant positions, including the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and has played a pivotal role in shaping Singapore’s policies and international relations. 🇸🇬 Beyond his political career, George Yeo is an accomplished author. His books, especially “George Yeo: Musings,” have been a source of immense inspiration for me on my entrepreneurial journey. 📚 His insights on leadership, strategy, and personal growth have profoundly influenced my approach to business and life. His wisdom has often provided me with the clarity and motivation to navigate through challenging times. 💡 Meeting him in person was surreal. We chatted about his experiences, and I couldn’t help but express my gratitude for his work. His humility and willingness to share his knowledge were truly inspiring. 🌟 This encounter reminded me of the importance of continuous learning and the power of inspiration. I am deeply grateful for this chance meeting, which has rekindled my drive to pursue excellence and innovation in all that I do. 🚀 Here’s to serendipity and the incredible impact of George Yeo’s legacy! 💪✨ #Inspiration #Leadership #GeorgeYeo #Entrepreneurship #Serendipity #ContinuousLearning #Gratitude #SingaporePride #Motivation #LifeChangingMoments #KeepGrowing

🌟Happy to share🌟 I am thrilled to share that our article on #board of directors’ characteristics and #family #SMEs #internationalization was nominated for the Best Paper Award by the prestigious Journal of World Business. I’m incredibly proud that our work was among the nominees at the award ceremony held in Seoul during the Academy of International Business (AIB) Annual Meeting. Being the only work from Italian universities considered for such an award is a very important international recognition of our research. A huge thank you to my amazing co-authors Antonio Majocchi, Jonathan Bauweraerts, Salvatore Sciascia, matteo caroli and Alain Verbeke for their invaluable contributions. This recognition wouldn't have been possible without your dedication, insights, and hard work. A special thank you also to Ajai Gaur, Editor-in-Chief at the Journal of World Business. 📃Our study in a nutshell: While many family SMEs have successfully become international, others have long-engrained habits and family-centric mindsets that can hold them back. Our research, building on the bifurcation bias theoretical concept and based on a sample of 328 family-run businesses, shows that family firms are more likely to overcome biased ways of thinking and to spread into new countries if their boards have the following qualities: ➡️Open towards non-family members ➡️Gender inclusive ➡️Experienced in international markets ➡️Active 📢 Key takeways for family business leaders: ✔️Do not hesitate to give family members leading roles, as long as the family firm has a competent and professional board. By doing so, family firms can benefit from the strengths of family control while also tapping into the expertise and broader vision of professionals. ✔️Increase the board’s diversity in terms of competences, gender, and international experience as diverse teams make better decisions. ✔️Don’t have a board merely for a rubber stamp role: actively leverage the board’s resources by encouraging more frequent meetings allowing board members to better understand the family’s perspective and provide wise counsel.
