WINNER - GIVING BACK AWARD (Copy)

Christina Caljé is named as winner of the first ever ‘Giving Back Award’ from Techleap, in recognition for her continuous efforts to empower other ecosystem members to think bigger and scale their ambitions to international levels.

After having been nominated by the Dutch community, Christina was selected by a small jury, organized by Techleap, as one of 8 finalists for the award, all senior leaders doing impactful work in the Dutch ecosystem.

The winner was selected by live voting, during the BOLD community launch event in The Hague that brought together ~300 of the top scaleup founders and CxOs in the Netherlands.

Whether it’s through game-changing initiatives or using a platform for the greater good, Techleap firmly believes that these leaders shouldn’t just be recognised for their pivotal work, they should be celebrated.
