Speaking at The Self-Made Summit about
Annemarie van Gaal is a household name. The kind of woman you want to know everything about as soon as you start talking to her. Whose knowledge, experience and energy you want to absorb and carry with you forever.
This is a woman who will accelerate your personal and professional growth in the blink of an eye. How? Annemarie: “I was lucky enough to end up in a country at a young age (25) that I knew nothing about, where I had no acquaintances and everything was different. ‘Business as unusual’, so to speak. Little did I know, these were exactly the ingredients that not only brought out the best in me but also gave me the insights that would later lead me to success. These are the insights I want to share at The Self-Made Summit. I revel in making business models that don’t work, work. How? That’s what I’m looking forward to revealing.”
