Reporter Charlotte Kilpatrick sits down with two industry IP directors to discuss how to manage in-house teams in a hybrid world of working remotely from home and the office. She is joined by Pieter van den Bulck, global director of IP at Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Stephan Wolke, director of IP at manufacturing company Thyssenkrupp.
