The Country Manager Network is exclusively for executives from our member companies. Invitations to these programs are by invitation only.
On October 26, 2023, the Country Manager Network has the rare opportunity to learn about leadership and performance from two former TOPGUN pilots. During this session, you'll have the opportunity to glean insights from two highly-skilled speakers with unique backgrounds while enjoying a light lunch with peers from other AmCham Sweden companies across different industries.
