Quotes from Global Leadership Fellows
Why did they join the Programme?
"The Fellows program provides a valuable balance to the responsibilities of our individual jobs. It is a chance to force yourself to make the space for reflection, analysis and big-picture discussion. In many ways it is a luxury that is seldom afforded in the world of work."
Cynthia Hansen, Community Manager, NGOs and Labour Leaders; Global Leadership Fellow
"I joined the Programme as I felt that it is the perfect next step in my career. I have a purely business background and I felt that I was missing something and I wanted to move to a more socially responsible organization, while also continuing my studies. The programme is a great combination of both; working for a meaningful cause and a great learning opportunity. As Fellows we are given countless opportunities to learn from the best; both in class and out there in the real world."
Katja Rouru, Head of Membership Development, Europe and Central Asia, Global Leadership Fellow
"The GLF programme is unique as it seals a worrisome gap resulting from the absence of sophisticated staff development schemes in most of the international organizations, and an often narrow and firm-specific focus of training schemes in the private sector."
Sebastian Buckup, Programme Manager, Global Leadership Fellow
"The Fellow's programme is truly unique - as well as having amazing exposure to the world's leaders at events like Davos, throughout the year we work alongside them in seeking solutions to global challenges. Then, thanks to the academic and leadership modules, our mentors and coaches, we have the chance to seriously reflect on our personal development. It's been an incredible experience."
Nicholas Davis, Associate Director, Scenario Planning Team, Global Leadership Fellow
"I was intrigued by the opportunity to work at the nexus of business, government and civil society. The Global Leadership Fellows Programme provides top training, exposes me to some of the world's most renowned leaders and gives space for reflection in a great group of peers. Joining the Forum and the programme turned out to be an excellent decision."
Matthias Catón,
Knowledge Manager, Global Leadership Fellow
"I work with the Forum's Chemical Industry Community to identify the short-, medium - and long-term trends and events affecting the strategic business environment. I engage and convene directors of strategy, corporate affairs, innovation, climate change and CEOs to effectively bring their perspectives to the Forum"
