Recently, Pete Yonkman addressed all European field-based employees in Prague as part of the 2018 EMEA Sales Conference. His presentation included a discussion of where we are in Transformation, the progress we’ve made, and what the journey looks like moving forward. We wanted to share his message with all employees – see the video below.

In addition, as part of the opening session of the EMEA conference, BBC journalist and broadcaster Kathy Smith moderated panel discussions with members of the executive team. Following the session, she sat down one-on-one with Pete to discuss transformation in depth. Below is their conversation.

We hope this update is useful. If you have any questions about the presentation or the interview, feel free to email Questions@CookMedical.com or contact Pete directly at Pete.Yonkman@CookMedical.com.
