“I have gained new tools, expanded my international network, and, not least, found new energy and inspiration for my role as a leader.”
This is how Glenn Gormsen, Head of HSSE at Shell Biogas, describes his experience after completing the International Management Certificate (IMC) – an official recognition issued in collaboration between INSEAD and the Scandinavian Executive Institute.
Three Programs. One Learning Journey.
From 2022 to 2025, Glenn completed three international leadership programs:
- Leading Strategic Change – change management in complex organizations
- Executive Management Programme – strategic business development and leadership
- Leading Across Borders and Cultures – leadership in a global perspective
“All three programs have been fantastic, with a level of learning that surpasses anything I’ve experienced before. The instructors and professors from INSEAD are world-class and, in themselves, a huge source of motivation,” he says.
More Than Just Knowledge
For Glenn, IMC is not only about upgrading his professional skills – it is about elevating his leadership in a constantly changing world.
“It’s not just an education – it’s an experience that strengthens you both professionally and personally. You become sharper, more reflective, and gain new perspectives that you can directly apply in your everyday work as a leader.”
What is IMC?
The International Management Certificate is awarded to leaders who complete two programs from the Scandinavian Executive Institute in collaboration with INSEAD, as well as one open program directly with INSEAD. The learning journey must comprise at least 15 teaching days in total and be completed within four years.
IMC is not just a formal recognition – it is proof that a leader has committed to continuous development, an international outlook, and strategic learning.
Why Choose IMC?
- Become part of an international network of ambitious leaders
- Gain access to some of the world’s best instructors and programs
- Develop yourself through a structured and flexible journey that delivers tangible value in your work
- Build confidence, reflection, and strategic depth
Learning as an Investment
Glenn Gormsen’s journey illustrates what IMC is truly about: daring to invest in yourself and your leadership.
“You don’t just learn from the professors – you learn from each other. The network I’ve built and the professional foundation I now have has already created value – both for me and for the organization I’m part of.”
