An Important Conversation
One of the highlights of the evening was our thought-provoking panel discussion, where leaders from global organizations shared their insights on bridging the gap between strategy and execution. Our esteemed panelists included:
Patricia Kroondijk (Hitachi, Strategy) spoke of the urgency of cross-silo problem-solving to drive strategic outcomes across complex organizations.
Mika Engblom (Samsung, Country Manager, Finland) offered insights into how global companies balance local and global learning to make strategy a collective responsibility.
Jenna Hakkarainen (Strategy&, PwC, Director) shared PwC’s research on operating models and the concept of a ‘Resilient Strategy’ in today’s rapidly changing business landscape.
The discussion was dynamic, tackling real challenges executives face in execution — how to align teams, overcome resistance to change, and create strategies that don’t just sit in PowerPoint decks but drive actual impact.
This Night Was About the People
Building something meaningful takes vision — but executing it takes a team that believes in it. This launch was not just a party; it was a celebration of the brilliant, driven, and passionate people behind In Parallel.
A huge thank you to our team for your dedication, creativity, and relentless pursuit of excellence. None of this would have been possible without you.
To our partners and investors for believing in our vision and helping us shape the future of strategy execution.
To our vendors and artists who elevated the experience and brought this celebration to life.
And, of course, to everyone who joined us. Your presence, conversations, and energy made this launch more than an event — it was a moment in time, a collective step toward something bigger. We’re forever grateful. Thank you.
