Four interviews. Four industries. One thread: how do you lead when the ground keeps shifting? Reuters NEXT Europe opened yesterday with back-to-back conversations on the World Stage - here is what stood out: 🏦 European Investment Bank (EIB) President Nadia Calviño ruled herself out of the running for the ECB presidency: "No, no, no, no. I am absolutely proud, committed, happy to be at the helm of the European Investment Bank", and confirmed the EIB will sign a major deal with a European defence player later this month. 🧴 Reckitt CEO Kris Licht warned that the inflationary effects of the Iran crisis are only just beginning to be felt: "There's going to be a more profound movement through a whole series of feedstocks and commodities over the next six to 12 months." 📡 Vodafone CEO Margherita Della Valle called on European governments to accelerate regulatory reform, saying the continent needs greater investment in digital infrastructure - not just for economic growth, but for security and resilience. 💎 De Beers Group CEO Al Cook said negotiations over the company's sale are maturing: "I'm hopeful that it'll happen in weeks rather than months going forward." Europe's delivery decade is already underway. Yesterday's conversations made that clear.
