Our first ever fireside discussion panel is about one “simple” question: How can generation (wh)Y make a difference? We have gathered inspiring students and professionals with diverse backgrounds to show you different perspectives on the subject.
Meet our panelists! From the left:
Daniel Breitwieser - our host this evening is one of our former speakers. Daniel co-founded Fypster - an online community that helps young people find their path. He is also an entrepreneurship lecturer, and a fantastic host!
Marco van der Werf - instead of going to Uni straight after high school, Marco decided to build a company. Currently he is studying computer science. He started BIT students - a student-run foundation for IT- and design students.
Ivana Zakova - global citizen and online marketer by profession, Ivana has a diverse experience ranging from startups to e-commerce giants like Booking.com. Over the years she has noticed a rising trend of ‘bleisure’ in our generation, where a lot of us are prepared to be paid less if it means that we can travel the world for our position.
Boudewijn Wijnands - being a long-time volunteer himself, Boudewijn founded DeedMob - an online platform that innovates the way we think and engage in volunteer work by helping people find volunteer positions and providing organisations with CRM tools to optimise their social impact.
Zita Schellekens - experienced in politics as a campaigner and advisor, currently the Director of Corporate Affairs and member of Corporate Affairs global leadership team, Zita shows that only by understanding a company, its culture and traditions, can you start to change it for the better.
