Executive mobility is becoming more selective, more complex, and more personal. As companies expand across #Central and #EasternEurope, relocating senior leaders remains an important lever for growth.

In our new report, #CEEExecutiveMobility2026, Boyden shares perspectives from 30 senior executives on the forces reshaping leadership mobility across the region. Key themes include: ➡️ What drives executive mobility into and within CEE ➡️ The growing attractiveness of the region ➡️ The practical realities of relocation ➡️ The critical role of family integration and support ➡️ The future of executive mobility Special thanks to Norrie Sinclair, Partner, #BoydenHungary, for leading this research initiative. 📘 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/g_SSd3hp #CEE #ExecutiveMobility #Leadership #TalentStrategy

How digitally ready are Swiss companies? #BoydenSwitzerland, together with the University of St.Gallen, surveyed 42 Swiss organizations to understand where #digitaltransformation truly stands today. The findings are clear: #technology alone doesn’t create competitive advantage — #leadership does. Our joint report highlights what #CEOs must prioritize to accelerate meaningful transformation: 🔵Link processes with new digital offerings to unlock scale and new value creation. 🔵Invest in culture and skills, ensuring teams can shape and adopt digital tools. 🔵Drive transformation from the top, elevating the CIO as a strategic partner. 🔵Combine cloud and AI to build speed, resilience, and new business logic. Digital transformation is no longer an IT initiative. It is a CEO-level mandate requiring strategic clarity, empowered leadership, and alignment across culture, processes, and technology.
