Gema Hassen-Bey
Fencer, Singer, Actress
Managing international organizations
across borders and technologies can all too
easily become a complex mathematical
equation with little human connection
or relevance. Gema Hassen-Bey is a
remarkable lady – Paralympic fencer and
all-round performer – who will address the
deep inner sources of leadership against all
the odds. Elite fencer and Spanish sports
ambassador, Gema Hassen-Bey explores
the moral and emotional reserves
necessary to compete and win the gold at
world level. The strategic insights at Ascent
are often taken from parallel worlds, and
sporting figures are a fixture at corporate
conferences – but this Business Talk takes
the metaphor into uncharted territory as
someone who has triumphed over the
most physical limitations shares her game
plan.
