Titled “Transition to Next-Gen: Rewriting the Rules of Succession,” this episode features Marie and Valentine Barbier-Mueller, co-CEOs of SPG, who share their remarkable journey and insights into family business dynamics.

Their story offers invaluable lessons on CEO leadership roles, managing familial and board relationships, the significance of female leaders, and preparing future generations for leadership.
