EAT Breakfast: Succeeding Globally in the digital age

ExportNZ’s EAT breakfast will be followed by the much anticipated launch of the 2018 Zespri Bay of Plenty ExportNZ Awards!

The focus for this month’s breakfast is  “What it takes to succeed globally in the modern age of disruption”

The pace of change isn’t going to slow down anytime soon.   In fact, if you think that the last 15 years has seen enormous disruption in the business world, then the next 15 years will make that disruption seem tame by comparison.

We are pleased to announce our highly esteemed speakers:

Clare Swallow, General Manager from Cucumber
Clare will present on how to create a culture of courage where customers, collaboration and innovation are at the heart of what we do.

Clare is a digital leader and previous Westpac Millennial Woman of Influence award-winner, with proven experience helping some of NZ’s top 100 companies solve their toughest challenges by utilising technology.
