Katarina Hägg appointed to the board of Hanken & SSE Executive Education

Katarina Hägg brings extensive experience in executive education and leadership development to the Board of Hanken & SSE Executive Education.

Helsinki, Finland — Hanken & SSE Executive Education is pleased to welcome back Katarina Hägg, CEO of SSE Executive Education, to its Board of Directors. Katarina succeeds Karin Wiström, who is stepping down after years of dedicated service. We extend our sincere gratitude to Karin for her valued contribution to the company's development and success.

With extensive experience in executive education, leadership development, and organisational transformation, Katarina brings deep insight into how individuals and organisations can build the capabilities needed to navigate an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. As CEO of SSE Executive Education, she has played a key role in strengthening executive learning and leadership development across Sweden and internationally.

At a time when organisations must continuously renew to remain relevant, leadership development is no longer about preparing for the future. It is about helping shape it. With its roots in both Finland and Sweden, Hanken & SSE Executive Education is uniquely positioned to support this challenge. Jointly owned by Hanken School of Economics and Stockholm School of Economics, the company combines the strengths of two leading Nordic business schools to help leaders and organisations create sustainable success through learning and renewal.

Katarina's appointment further strengthens this Nordic collaboration and reinforces the company's ambition to be the most trusted partner for leadership, strategic renewal, and organisational transformation across the Nordic region and beyond.

 

"We are delighted to welcome Katarina to the Board of Directors. Her extensive experience, strategic perspective, and strong commitment to executive education will be invaluable as we continue to support leaders and organisations in driving meaningful renewal and sustainable success. At the same time, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Karin for her dedication and important contribution over the years."

Frank Korsström, Chair of the Board, Hanken & SSE Executive Education
