Summer Olympics Alert!! 1+1 = 3. I shared my insights at Nasdaq Board Member Exchange on the importance of the board in overseeing senior management in shaping regulations by actively engaging with the Government, as value creation is a team sport. If you want to become a “good to great” company, addressing societal good is always a good business. Businesses must double down their engagement with Government to create value through smart regulations. What are your ambitions for the region? Check out the answer from Valérie Pécresse. #CEO #KSgems #RiseOfRest #Innovation Nitin Gaur

A pitch isn’t just a presentation; it’s your story, your passion, and your startup’s future, all rolled into one. It’s about sparking curiosity and drawing people into your vision. 🌟 And when you pitch, you’re not just targeting investors or fundraising; you’re building relationships with any stakeholder, including potential users or partners or collaborators. MIT Female Founders Pitch Competition was the first time I had pitched in a while and the opportunity was such a great reminder on why a powerful pitch is your best foot forward. Excited to keep iterating on my startup story and building how I tell my vision. 🎉 ✨ #StartupLife #Entrepreneurship #Pitching #Innovation #StartupSuccess #PitchCompetitions

I can highly recommmend this event - not to be missed - if you free and you want to provide best practice and leadership for your business - book your seat! #leadership #humancentric #DistruptiveHR

What are the top 100 universities to churn out founders globally? - not a single German one made this list - only 3 in the European Union: University College Dublin , Trinity College Dublin & Copenhagen Business School. Enabling founders is no charity, it's building the elastic unit for changing economies and a path to the future. That's why 8 of the 10 most valuable companies today, are former VC-backed startup. None is European. Let's catch up, Europe! 🇪🇺 link to the PitchBook report in the comments. --- Edit: Stats are for undergrad, picture looks more positive on graduate level
