Programme overview
The St. Gallen Board Academy is a dedicated initiative to develop Europe’s new generation of board members. It has been designed to support participants in preparing for their first non-executive mandate at a large company by bringing them together with incumbent non-executive board members from prominent European companies.
At the St.Gallen Board Academy, chairs and senior board members of Europe’s largest companies will share their experiences, perspectives and best practices with the next generation of Europe’s leading board members. The aim of the programme is to learn from each other and to equip prospective board members with insights and conclusions from decades of real-life boardroom experiences held by the Academy’s Board Faculty.
Note: If you already are a long-serving chair or senior board member of a large, listed company please consider the Academy’s sister programme, the St.Gallen Board Retreat.
