The Case for You: Personal Branding as a Leadership Strategy

Your personal brand is more than a LinkedIn profile or elevator pitch—it’s how you’re perceived, remembered, and ultimately chosen for the opportunities you want.

Female Ventures and European Women on Boards (EWOB) Netherlands invite you to an inspiring evening exploring personal branding as a leadership skill. Whether you’re aspiring to a board position, preparing for your next leadership role, navigating a career transition, or simply looking to communicate your value with greater confidence, this session is designed for you.

The evening begins with a practical mini masterclass from Zandra Zuno Baermann (ZW Consultancy), who has spent her career shaping brand narratives for global companies including Nintendo, Toyota and Unilever. Drawing on years of strategic communications expertise, Zandra will share how to build an authentic, values-driven personal brand that reflects who you are and helps you stand out as a leader.

Following the masterclass, you’ll hear an engaging panel discussion featuring accomplished leaders sharing honest insights into how personal branding influenced their own leadership journeys. They’ll discuss the moments that mattered, what they would do differently, and how they built visibility without compromising authenticity.

Panel speakers:

* Zandra Zuno Baermann

* Esen Orhun Kunt

* Rodrigo Teixeira

The evening concludes with an interactive Q&A and networking, giving you the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals and continue the conversation.

By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with:

* A practical framework for building a values-driven personal brand

* Real, unfiltered stories from experienced leaders on their path to leadership and board positions

* Actionable tools you can immediately apply to your LinkedIn profile, interviews, networking conversations, and future leadership opportunities
