So, you’re probably wondering what the investment looks like, yet

… the biggest risk is staying stuck

For senior executives, a career transition can be expensive—not just in lost salary, but in missed opportunities to showcase your leadership, build your brand, and access future roles.

With Match for Impact, you step into a 90-day mission inside a purpose-driven venture, leading a high-impact initiative while building real-world results.

And those results? They are the best personal branding campaign—tangible proof of your skills and value that you can confidently communicate in interviews, on LinkedIn, and in boardroom conversations.

While many invest over €15,000 in personal branding alone, this program offers hands-on experience, strategic coaching, and a high-caliber network on top—all at a fraction of the cost.
