Bold cultures don't happen by accident

Everyone talks about culture. Many claim to know how to build it, but only a few have actually done it - at scale, for real, and with lasting impact. Building bold, resilient cultures takes more than inspiring words or catchy values on the wall. It demands the hard-earned mix of experience, know-how, and unapologetic boldness.

Join Katarina Berg, former CHRO of Spotify, author of BOLD, and now CHRO of On, as she shares insider lessons from scaling one of the world’s most recognised culture-driven companies. In conversation with Anne-Marie Andric, Senior HR Advisor, the keynote will challenge common assumptions and explore what it truly means to lead with courage, resilience, and impact.
