Stefaan Lauwers
CEO at Partena Ziekenfonds
I’ve been the director of the Partena Health Insurance Fund since 1991. I've witnessed merger after merger. This means you must constantly question your raison d’être and modus operandi. I’m 59 years old, and was 57 when I did the Advanced Management Programme. The programme forces you to think and also to do. Your mindset is expanded, which means you start investing your energy at the right time in the right things.
Tinneke Denayer
Rare Blood Disorder Leader at Sanofi Genzyme
Every module delivered new business insights and enhanced motivation to make things happen. Our group was diverse, with people from different sectors of industry and government, as well as entrepreneurs. A dynamic and tight group of great people − and even now we are still in contact. The Executive Development Programme was a building block for the rest of my career.
