Our Management
Our top management excels in what they do not only by their shared passion for problem solving but also their work ethic, which renders passion to be translated into performance. Moreover, our top management is not only qualified for their educational credentials, but also their deep functional industry experience. This is why, to this day, Challenge Leadership Development Academy enjoys extensive involvement of the top-management in each of our projects. We find it important that who you see is eventually also the person whom you will be working with.
