Johan Genneby is a changemaker. He is passionate about global development, sustainability, risk management, conflict management and has regularly been tempted to settle in or travel to places that are not the most obvious tourist destinations. Among these, Nairobi, Kenya, from where he recently launched BI's operations in East Africa. In previous assignments in business, government, the EU and the non-profit sector, Johan has often left his mark by initiating new collaborations and creating new platforms between actors and stakeholders with different activities and perspectives. He is at home in most environments and his broad experience has made him a warm friend of goal focus and strategy to drive change. He knows the art of combining his experiences for value creation for companies and society in his work with companies' international and sustainability operations.
Johan likes to spend his time with his friends and family, skiing fast, conquering mountains and enjoying the Åland archipelago.
