Executive Vice President, Head of Corporate
INVITE-ONLY EVENT | 12 MARCH 2026, 17h30-19h30 CEST
The New Imperative of Corporate Diplomacy
Geopolitical fragmentation, regulatory activism, and rising societal expectations are reshaping the role of business. Engagement with governments, institutions and society is no longer discretionary; it is a core leadership responsibility with direct implications for strategy, reputation, and license to operate.
The evening will feature a panel discussion with Marie von Seyfried, Global Head of Corporate Communications, Novartis, and Aurelia Jouhanneau, Director of Communications & Culture, Audemars Piguet, moderated by Alphonse Daudré-Vignier, Head of Corporate, Weber Shandwick Switzerland.
We’ll explore how senior corporate affairs and communications leaders practice effective corporate diplomacy to balance global strategy, manage stakeholder expectations, and build legitimacy in an increasingly politicized environment.
The discussion will be followed by an informal cocktail reception.
We hope you can join us.
