Dr. Charlotte de Brabandt's journey to becoming one of technology and negotiation's most influential voices was forged in the crucible of personal adversity. Faced with a cancer diagnosis at a young age, she transformed this profound challenge into a wellspring of strength that would define her unique approach to leadership. Rather than allowing her diagnosis to limit her aspirations, she emerged as a warrior leader whose personal battle taught her invaluable lessons about resilience, authenticity, and the power of embracing vulnerability in professional settings. This warrior spirit has infused every aspect of her remarkable career. Just as she approached her cancer treatment with determination and strategic thinking, she brings the same focused resolve to her role as Senior Procurement Manager at Amazon Business, where she masterfully oversees strategic initiatives across EMEA and DACH regions. Her authentic leadership style, shaped by her personal health journey, has enabled her to build deep, meaningful relationships with over 129 key customers and reach an audience exceeding 200,000 professionals, including 22,500 C-level executives.
