Embracing the Rust Belt: A Modern Approach to Leadership and Masculinity

Joakim Dahl — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 11:38:41 +0000

Like the candidates for vice president, I am “in the Rust Belt” to contribute. My connection with the vice presidential candidates goes beyond just being “in the Rust Belt”—I share the name (JD) with Vance and align with Walz’s inclusive vision by embracing vulnerability, empathy, and support for others, reflecting a modern approach to masculinity.

Although my “Rust Belt” is based in my city, my role primarily involves making contributions at a board meeting.

Experienced Board Professional Seeking New Challenges and Opportunities

Joakim Dahl — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 17:22:52 +0000

I am ready to take on new assignments in board of directors roles and look forward to continuing to present applications at personal meetings with nominating committees, like the one I had today.

With nearly 15 years of experience serving on the boards of various companies across multiple industries, from those listed on the stock exchange to owner-led firms and growing enterprises, I bring a wealth of knowledge and an extensive network. My role as an active board member has encompassed a broad spectrum of activities, including capital raising, IPOs, issuing new shares, and overseeing mergers and acquisitions.

As I seek new board positions, I am enthusiastic about contributing as an active member, leveraging my significant business acumen and deep business intelligence to drive business development.

Revitalizing Board Engagement: Dynamic Workshop Sessions in London’s Elegant Tea Salons

Joakim Dahl — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 13:36:49 +0000

Among the board workshop sessions that I most enjoy and am proud to have created through my know-how, experience, and network, are those designed to infuse boards with a sense of inspiration and vitality. The latest session was hosted in a sophisticated salon located in a prominent area of London, renowned for its elegant atmosphere and distinguished setting. This environment was specifically chosen to foster a sense of inspiration and vitality among the board members.

The session uniquely blends a tea lunch with the privilege of accessing a reading room, along with a stimulating task. Each board member is challenged to identify three headlines in international newspapers that are relevant to business or business development, focusing on business prospects over the next 1-3 years.

This methodology aligns with the vital role that boards play in the formulation of an organization’s strategic goals. It demands a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, competitive landscapes, and evolving trends. Effective boards transcend the traditional role of merely approving strategies; they are actively involved in shaping them, contributing invaluable perspectives and insights from their diverse experiences and expertise.

Strategic Business Developer and Board Member with a Flair for Storytelling

Joakim Dahl — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 19:38:13 +0000

In my business assignments, I often produce presentations and create company descriptions or information memorandums to realize the value of companies, as well as their upcoming growth and business development. With a background that combines graphic design, business development, and board membership—along with a track record of several share issues and growth journeys in both listed and growth companies—I possess the ability to identify the right details and craft compelling business narratives.

Additionally, I am someone who always brings an extra level of detail to every meeting.

The cufflinks I wear today are from a semi-independent order of chivalry, linked to one of the former imperial or royal courts in Europe. Take note of the two-barred cross, also known as the Cross of Lorraine. Béla III was the first monarch to use the two-barred cross, a symbol that even appeared on the coinage of the Byzantine Empire during the time of the reign of Emperor Justinian II. This symbol later made its way to Western Europe via the House of Anjou and became known as the Cross of Lorraine. Notably, the Cross of Lorraine was also used as a symbol of Free France during World War II.

In the Boardroom: Democracy, Inclusivity, and the Power of Collaboration

Joakim Dahl — Sat, 23 Sep 2023 20:01:39 +0000

I am a member of boards and committees whose activities are rooted in the principles of democracy and whose missions are designed to bolster the needs and opportunities of citizens in civil society. I value the use of name tags at board and committee meetings, as this practice fosters inclusivity, encourages participation, and facilitates collaboration.

Espresso and Excellence: Brewing a Week of Active Management and Continuous Renewal

Joakim Dahl — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 15:55:07 +0000

Changing the beans: my process where coffee beans are replaced by a new batch of espresso.

As we step into a new management week, let’s remember that a management position is not just about offering advice; it’s about taking an active role on the front lines.

Fueling us through the management week is Musetti, a distinguished Italian coffee brand, renowned in iconic establishments such as Bar Gambrinus in Naples, Gran Caffè Tortoni in Milan, and Antico Caffè Greco in Rome, among others.

Joakim Dahl — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 20:40:31 +0000

We can be heroes!
I am driven by the vision of creating a society where there is total harmony, equality, and prosperity. With pride and energy to achieve the goals for an inclusive society, I took an active stance at the board meeting for the action plan:

It is essential to clarify, based on human rights and national disability policy objectives, what is expected in order for people with disabilities to be fully included without discrimination, on equal terms with others.
