ABOUT

“If we truly want to challenge the status quo, we must break corporate habits. True change and groundbreaking enterprise initiatives can’t just have executive sponsors; they need active top-level leadership investment to foster a culture that not only acknowledges but champions innovation.”
— Eva, Founder @ Corporate Unicorns
