IQube gets some new board members
Johan Stael von Holstein picked some fresh blood for iQube a few days ago. iQube, if you don’t know is a newfangled new venture incubator as such. In fact one of the iQube’s success stories are students of mine. Anyway, Johan was lucky to get an inflow of cash about 45 Million SEK during the summer. So, I guess it was a good time to announce the new board additions.
The four new mini-celebrity board members are: Företagarna’s Managing Director, Gunvor Engström, media entrepreneur Anne Wegelius, Svenska Spel’ss Managing Director Jesper Kärrbrink and Bonnier Tidskrifter publishing boss Ulrika Saxon.
I applaud these appointments. However, if Johan really wants to help build global and paradigm busting businesses, he is going to have to have a much more diverse group of business coaches, mentors and a much more diverse board.
