We are thrilled to announce Katja Kolmetz, Founder of WaveMakers.io, as a speaker at this year’s EU-Startups Summit on May 9-10 in Malta!

It is dedicated to transforming leadership education and tackling outdated leadership models. WaveMakers is committed to nurturing a new generation of diverse and authentic leaders, having already supported the leadership journeys of young professionals from over 50 countries.

With the WaveMakers App, the team set out to redefine leadership at scale!
At the summit, Katja will delve into the essence of true leadership beyond conventional roles and titles in her talk titled “Leadership is not a job title.”
