Boardman International Working Group

The group was established in December 2023. It focuses on developing “Boardman Membership,” an English-language membership designed for international executives in Finland.

The group organizes events and Boardman’s Board Governance in Finland Training designed for international executives. It actively collaborates with other member forums at Boardman, promotes the use of English in board work and influences the internationalization of board work and leadership on a broader scale.

In February 2024, the group hosted an event where international executives living in Finland were invited. During the event, group member Maria Krajewska-Olkkonen presented the survey results on international board members conducted by Boardman.

The group meets four times a year, with additional work conducted in small groups between meetings. Given the international composition of the members, most meetings are held via Teams connections.

The group is chaired by Boardman Partner Tuomo Haukkovaara. Members are Rashmi Kasat, Michael Hardy, Maria Krajewska-Olkkonen, Steven ter Horst, Jan Feller, Mia Ahlström, Lars Hellström, Delfin Vassallo and Heini Pirttijärvi, and Secretary is Karoliina Kuhalampi.
