Boardman Membership for International Executives and Board Members

Boardman Membership is designed for international executives and board members working in Finland or with Finnish companies

Boardman’s mission is to help companies and decision-makers to succeed by developing expertise in ownership, board work and leadership. Our network includes over 800 international and Finnish members – owners, board members, business executives and entrepreneurs. We offer our members high-quality events where they learn, share their expertise and expand their professional network.

By offering our training and networking events, international executives connect easier with Finnish board members. Our goal is to make the boards of Finnish companies more international, allthough Boardman does not offer direct board seat services.
