Mila Bahadoersing
Local Partner & Staff Coach
Move the focus from what you claim, to how you put it into action, not knowing exactly which steps to take, as long as you know what your next step will be. Ultimately, it is about what you leave behind.
Mila is an entrepreneur who enthusiastically and passionately takes on every challenge until she gets results. Mila is the owner of the Entrepreneur House Paramaribo, a platform that connects companies and organizations in Suriname and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with the aim to leverage internationalization and stimulate business growth.
