In today’s digital age, executives have a plethora of platforms at their disposal to craft and project their professional identity. This transition from traditional to digital branding reflects broader societal and technological shifts, emphasizing the need for adaptability and a proactive approach to managing one’s online presence.

    With the advent of the internet and social media, executives can now extend their reach far beyond local networking events, leveraging digital platforms to create a comprehensive online presence.
