How Jan is building a better working world

"With the speed at which the world is changing, you can either be overtaken or choose to take the driver's seat and help steer the direction. As auditors and advisors, we leave an imprint on society, and we contribute to creating trust and stability in the business world as well as in the capital markets. In my role, I have a responsibility both to EY and to the rest of the industry. I use my voice, knowledge, and experience to focus on issues that are close to my heart."
