Helsinki, Finland 16 August 2017 – The newly appointed CEO of Hanken & SSE Executive Education, Marc Hinnenberg, M.Sc.

“The global business landscape is changing faster than ever and visionary leadership is increasingly important”, says the newly appointed CEO Marc Hinnenberg. “As the top executive education provider in the Nordics combining academia and business, we want to be at the forefront of this change. Our extensive network of business and academic experts mixed with the likes of world explorers gives us the opportunity to support organisations in a unique way, offering both personal development as well as business impact. Our goal is to be a step ahead so that we can offer our customers the same advantage and I’m eagerly joining the fantastic team to take us there”, Marc continues.
