About Hendrik Jan Guitink, Managing Partner of AIMS International Netherlands B.V. , member of AIMS International, a global leader in Executive Search and Leadership Consulting
“My name is Hendrik Jan Guitink, I am the Managing Partner of AIMS International Netherlands B.V., member of AIMS International, a global leader in Executive Search and Leadership Consulting with offices in over 50 countries. We Find&Grow Your Leaders. Within our Talent Management Practice, coaching and mentoring are two aspects that we specialize in as part of Leadership Development Programs or for individual cases. Having been a Mentor within this program for the past 2 years and being a professional business coach and trainer, I am very excited to take on the challenge. As Mentor, I have had the privilege to partner with 2 very bright and ambitious young professionals. I think I can say that both the mentees and I learned a lot from each other.
I am married to a Swedish beauty and also have a very strong business relationship with our AIMS partner in Sweden, delivering our services to our mutual clients. Hence the membership of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce.
The ambition for the Mentorship Program is to give young professionals the opportunity to connect with a senior business executive outside of his or her direct environment. Giving the participants access to guidance in issues concerning their future career.
As a group we will work on specific topics such as culture and building trusted relationships and we will invite subject matter experts to come and talk to us. The Mentees and Mentors will also spend time together on subjects of their own choice.”

Time: 15.00 – 16.00
Recessions and game changing events – such as pandemics – can change the trajectory of economies, governments and businesses, and essentially alter the course of history. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, societies and businesses have had to dramatically alter the way they operate, compromising work environments and posing challenges to status quo. We have seen unprecedented adaption and development of new technological solutions, fundamentally changing the game. But does it really take a global crisis, such as the current pandemic, to accelerate innovation at this speed? Will it keep changing as we settle into a new reality, and the world slowly opens up again, or will we slow down? What is next in innovation, and how we do keep accelerating? Simply, how do we emerge stronger?
Welcome to the fourth event in the “Emerging stronger” series, featuring business leaders and opinion-makers organized by Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK in partnership with SCI including the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the Netherlands.
The discussions are moderated by Nik Gowing, Director and Founder of Thinking the Unthinkable and former BBC news anchor.
Confirmed speakers:
Katarina Berg, Chief Human Resources Officer at Spotify
Johan Wibergh, Chief Technology Officer at Vodafone Group
Rachel Samrén, Senior Vice President, Chief External Affairs, Governance & Trust Officer, Telia

Working with the brand Sweden
A brand is a reputation. It is the expression of an identity, a name, a logo, values, a philosophy… Sweden, a small country in northern Europe with only 0.13% of the world’s population, is one of the first nations in the world to have implemented an official nation branding strategy.
Sweden benefits from a positive brand image abroad. The country is positioned among the leading nations in various global indexes of economic performance, social commitments, capacity for innovation, governance, sustainable commitments, etc. IKEA is a brand that strategically communicates Swedish cultural concepts, symbols and values, and exports them across the world.
What happens when you apply the concept of branding to an entire country? Can companies and nations co-brand on their identity? Why and how? What are the benefits and limits?
In collaboration with the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in France and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in UK, and in partnership with SCI -Swedish Chambers International, The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands welcomes you to join us in reflecting on how Sweden and Swedish companies may join forces in co-branding. How can a nation and companies reflect each other’s assets and thus strengthen their positions?
Guest speakers
Madeleine Sjöstedt — Director-General Swedish Institute
Lena Herder — Country Retail Manager IKEA Sweden
Simon Anholt — Independent policy advisor, author and expert in nation branding

Venue: Residence of the Swedish Ambassador, The Hague
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce is very pleased to invite you the Annual General Meeting on June 3, 2021 at 10.30 — 12.00 CET. The meeting will take place online and will be followed by an address by H.E. Ambassador or Sweden Mrs Annika Markovic and a panel discussion by some of our leading Swedish businesses about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and their expectations for the near future.
The Annual General Meeting is an important moment for the association. We therefore make a warm appeal to all Members to join us online on June 3, 2021, with the hope that the current restrictions will ease and enable a physical/hybrid meeting. Should that be the case, we will inform those who have signed up.
Voting Procedure
During the Annual General Meeting, the Members present will be asked to approve the Minutes of last year’s AGM as well as the Financial Statements of 2020 and elect the Members of the Board. As we will be working with a modified voting procedure, we ask all Members to submit questions or comments with regard to the issues on our agenda in advance as much as possible – by email to info@swedishchamber.nl. Instead of asking for approval by a raise of hands, we will include a small timeslot for Members to react via Chat. If no comments or objections come in, the topic at hand will be considered approved.
Registration
We kindly request all Members to register in advance. All meeting details will be sent to you in advance.
Date: June 8, 2021
Time: 10.00 – 11.00
