Geopolitical uncertainty is reshaping investment, supply chains, energy costs and growth strategies. In this episode of The C-Suite Check-in, Karin van Selm, Regional Head and CEO Wholesale Europe, Africa & Asia and Menno Middeldorp, Global Head of RaboResearch, talk about scenario planning, geopolitical risks and how to build strategies, in a conversation moderated by host Susan Hansen, Global Strategist Energy Transition at Rabobank.

They explore how scenario planning can help leaders challenge assumptions, test strategic choices and prepare for different futures. From a US-China Cold War and new international coalitions to a Fortress Europe, the conversation considers which decisions need to remain robust, where flexibility matters and how leaders can recognize opportunities without losing sight of risk.

On a warm mid-July day at Rabobank's headquarters in Utrecht, a striking line set the tone: "This is the best climate you're ever going to experience in your life."

In this episode of The C-Suite Check-in, host Susan Hansen, Global Strategist Energy Transition at Rabobank, speaks with colleague Luke Disney, Global Head of Climate, and Ron Keller, economist and former Dutch ambassador to several countries, about the new reality facing the C-suite. As geopolitics, energy security and competitiveness collide, sustainability is moving from reporting exercise to strategic test of resilience. What happens when global cooperation weakens, regional realities take over and the energy transition becomes both risk and opportunity? A sharp conversation for leaders looking beyond compliance.

In this episode of The C-Suite Check-In, host Cyrille Filott challenges Roland van der Vorst, advisor to the Managing Board and former Global Head of Innovation at Rabobank, to unpack what innovation demands from today's C-suite. They explore why curiosity, strategic awareness and the ability to look around corners are becoming essential leadership capabilities.

How can executives stay ahead in turbulent times? Why does curiosity matter more than ever? And what does it mean to "look around corners"?

A timely conversation for decision-makers across Europe, Africa and Asia who are navigating uncertainty and preparing for what comes next.

In this episode of The C-Suite Check-In, Cyrille Filott, Head Global Consumer at RaboResearch Food & Agribusiness, takes on the role of host in a thought-provoking conversation with Jan Lambregts, Head of RaboResearch Global Economics & Markets.

Together, they explore how major powers are increasingly playing their geopolitical 'cards' to shape influence, markets, and decision-making. And what that means for businesses navigating today's uncertainty.

A strong spotlight is placed on Europe, which finds itself in a complex position between competing forces and the strategic choices it faces in a fast changing world. As the rules of the game continue to shift, the question becomes not only where Europe stands, but what role it can play, and how businesses should interpret those moves.

This episode offers a sharp and timely perspective, challenging you to look beyond the headlines and rethink how your organization prepares for what comes next.
