The courage to go against the wind: a conversation with Cristina Scocchia
"We are given only one chance, life is one: you have to play it, look inside, understand what you want and have the courage to try. Whatever the outcome, it will always be worth going down in the arena."
In this meeting, participants will have the opportunity to meet one of the most influential women in the Italian management scene, capable of achieving great results as CEO in 3 very different companies.
Starting with a clear goal and a great desire to try out and innovate, Cristina Scocchia, now CEO of Illycaffè, was the youngest CEO in Italy, managing to break through the crystal ceiling and make its way into a world in those years exclusively male. A path, hers, which has seen her achieve ambitious plans of transformation and development, always managing to make meritocracy a strength and the team the winning element.
In particular, thanks to her testimony, participants will be able to:
- Be inspired by the professional and personal career of a young woman who, with courage and determination, has built a successful career;
- To learn about the dynamics of the CEO role and explore the processes behind major business transformations;
- understand how the first step to create a successful team where everyone’s talent can be valued, is to know how to go from "I" to "we";
- Find out how to combine pragmatism and empathy to build innovative, responsible and, above all, collective leadership.
