Petter Stordalen, the Norwegian hotel owner and investor, has been confirmed to join the Nordic Business Forum Helsinki 2022 lineup. At the event, Petter will talk about leadership and branding during a crisis.
We are excited to announce that Petter Stordalen will step on our stage in Helsinki in September 2022! The Norwegian hotel owner, investor, and property developer will first give a short keynote and then engage in a moderated conversation on the topic of How I Lead My Brands Through Crisis.
“I’m extremely proud that we got to add an inspiring business leader like Petter to the lineup. He will be able to enlighten our audience about how to lead brands and businesses during uncertain times. After all, he has heavily invested in the accommodation and travel industry which, as we all know, took a big hit during the pandemic. So, I’m sure Petter will provide truly valuable insights on the topic”, says Priit Liiv, the Interim Managing Director at Nordic Business Forum.
