What

Going global is not simply about entering another country.

Successful international growth requires the right strategy, partnerships, market understanding, operational capability and leadership approach.

Drawing on experience across more than 30 cities, Lena Benjamin MBA explores how organisations can turn international ambition into commercially viable growth.

This session provides a practical introduction to Cross-Border Growth: From Local Strategy to Global Impact, one of Lena’s most requested speaker topics.

Why attend?

Who is it for?

Ideal for:

• Founders and entrepreneurs
• International business leaders
• Export and expansion teams
• Investors
• Senior commercial professionals
• Organisations considering international markets
