Attended IPOready programme in 2021
I met with a lot of peers and that was really interesting to understand what their challenges and plans are. And then I also met a lot of high-quality speakers and it was really interesting to have their perspectives and points of view as public investors mindset. As a CFO I have my challenges and I don’t often have that many opportunities to talk to public investors
