Added to the line up are:
Donna Carpenter Co-CEO & Co-Owner of Burton Snowboards who presents: Staying True – The Importance of Company Values. In this insightful keynote Donna will point out the importance of staying true to founding values, and the significance of constantly evaluating the company culture. Inclusiveness and sustainability are two of the most important principles that Burton Snowboards has embraced from the very beginning. From a startup to the world’s leader in Snowboarding, the company has been undergoing constant change while living up to its core values. Today, Donna is constantly striving to make Burton radically inclusive while pushing boundaries on sustainability and women’s leadership.
On attending the EOS Donna says: “The European Outdoor Summit brings together the ‘who is who’ of the Outdoor world. I am very much looking forward to an exciting exchange with the other attendees and I am eager to listen to the keynotes of the fellow speakers. Only if we work together as an industry, we can make real positive change in the world. Our common goal should be creating awareness for the environment, but also getting people off their phones and back into the outdoors.”
CEO for We Hunt for Heads, Magnus Ohlsson, who presents:
The Challenge of Change 2020. Retailers and brands are struggling to survive and find their roles in a changing environment where growing ecommerce and market places are pushing the margins down.
Magnus, who has been working in retail for the last 25 years and as an advisor on future trends, business and brand strategy, explores what can be done to build a strong brand and why this is imperative to prosper in the decade to come.
