André spent quality time in January 2023 with his Intertek colleagues in Austin, which has been voted the #1 Place to live in America for three consecutive years and which is a hotbed for technology, start-ups and innovation.
Each time he visits Austin, André gets inspired by some of the ideas and initiatives, born in what is one of the most entrepreneurial and forward-looking business communities in the world.

André was thrilled to return to Hong Kong and visit The University of Hong Kong to discuss the most topical leadership challenges with MBA students.
He hadn’t visited Hong Kong since January 2020 and was very much looking forward to meeting his colleagues and customers at Intertek. He loved being back in one of the most vibrant cities in the world, where doing business at the speed of light is the norm.
Following the publication of his book, Leadership with Soul, André was invited to a discussion with the MBA students at HKU. He found the discussion truly invigorating and was pleased to see that Leadership with Soul had created a platform to debate some of the most topical leadership challenges for the students.

The 10 Questions that matter for future leaders at #ESCPLondon
On the 24th November, André had the honour of returning to his alma mater, ESCP Business School at their London campus to present his book Leadership with Soul.

In early November 2022, André had the pleasure of speaking to a group of 80 students at UC Irvine about his book Leadership with Soul. They were able to discuss at length how his humanist principles have guided his everyday work and how these have inspired his leadership approach.
