IMD Foundation Board

The IMD Foundation Board is IMD's ultimate governing body. Comprised of CEOs from companies with strong learning partnerships with our business school, the board ensures we are aligned to the evolving needs of the global corporate community.

The role of the Foundation Board is to take all useful measures to administer and represent IMD and, generally, all steps permitting IMD to achieve its objectives.

Members dedicated to ensuring IMD’s relevance

At their annual meeting in November, IMD Foundation Board members approve IMD’s overall strategic direction and the financial results, and elect board members.
