Music Festivals, Broad Welfare and Innovation
Gerrien’s activities in the context of women’s emancipation at the VVAO and developments in the labor market support her passion for equal opportunities for everyone and broad welfare. In 2017, as chair of the Innovation Committee of the Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club, she organized an Innovation trip to Silicon Valley and LA, which laid the foundation for her book “Anyone can park a Tesla” about leadership in digital transformation.
