In the context of the evolving market landscape, and building on the insights from our previous meetings, we are organizing this session in collaboration with Takeda SCE. This event will bring together leaders from our member companies.


The meeting will feature special guests, including Vanessa Gleason (keynote speech), Global Head of TBS, and Leigh Nicholson, Head of Strategy, Business Partnering & People Experience at Takeda. Their expertise in business transformation, leadership, and resilience in the GBS sector will provide valuable insights. Furthermore, we are going to have a panel discussion of our leaders Navigating Change: Key Insights for the Future of GBS led by PwC.


After the main session, we invite all interested participants for an evening-networking at Bawełna restaurant (Address: Manufaktura, Ogrodowa 46 19A, Łódź).
