CLIENT HIGHLIGHT

This past month, the Avnir team enjoyed participating in Schneider Electric’s Secure Power Leadership Kickoff in Scottsdale, AZ—an event focused on innovation, collaboration, and leadership transformation.

Nour delivered key insights on strategic relationships and adaptive leadership, emphasizing their role in driving sustainable growth and long-term success. His message resonated with an audience of senior leaders dedicated to evolving their businesses in an increasingly dynamic landscape.

We also appreciate David Kelly and Jolie Gaston’s contributions to the discussions. This event highlighted the importance of curiosity, connection, and continuous learning as essential pillars of leadership in today’s market.

Schneider Electric continues to set a high standard for leadership development, and we were grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the conversation.
