Jennifer Wirjosemito
Business Transformation Manager Philips
With a proven track-record of leading change programs, large-scale transformations, and improving business results in multinational organisations, she feels at home navigating environments where innovation and execution go hand in hand. Guiding and equipping businesses - their managers and employees - in effectively dealing with change.
“Change can be an intense process. If done carefully, without losing sight of the human aspect, it creates room for beautiful opportunities that can take organisations to even higher levels.”
Where we stand
Let’s clear the air. When a business talks about diversity, it can feel forced. At Una Collective, we try to keep it simple. Diversity and inclusion are more than buzzwords, and bigger than the bottom line. It's strategically smart and it makes your company future-proof.
It’s about our people
knowing that they’re
valued where
they work.
"If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don't particularly like." - Soichiro Honda, founder of Honda
