Having lived in multiple countries and experienced a wide range of leadership approaches, she emphasized that an effective leader inspires collaboration, motivates the employees, and strives to foster a strong corporate culture. Moreover, a great leader holds themselves accountable, while unifying and driving their colleagues toward a shared goal.

A Customer-First Mindset Driven by Data

To follow, Rune Foyn presented on a customer-first mindset driven by data. He stressed the importance of turning data into actionable insights and highlighted the role of cross-functional teams in ensuring success.

Rune encouraged business leaders to embrace the change brought by digital transformation, recognizing that while there are good reasons not to be the first mover, the rewards of being first to innovate are even greater. “By leading the way, companies can position themselves to shape the market and stay ahead of competitors.”
