Kim Olsson, CEO of Stena Sessan Fastighets AB, was elected as a new member of Childhood’s board at the board meeting on April 13. She succeeds Jane Olsson Thorburn and thus continues Stena Sphere’s long-standing and strong partnership with Childhood.
– We are very pleased to welcome Kim Olsson to our board and for our strong partnership with Stena. Kim’s competence and strong drive for social sustainability strengthens us in our work to prevent child sexual abuse. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank outgoing board member Jane Olsson Thorburn for her many years as chair of the board and other invaluable contributions ever since the Queen founded Childhood in 1999, says Kenneth Bengtsson, Chairman of the Board of Childhood.
Kim Olsson has a background in business administration from the Stockholm School of Economics and has worked in the real estate industry since 2011, first at Stena Fastigheter and then as CEO of Stena Sessan Fastighets AB since 2018. She is an active member of the board of the Brilliant Minds Foundation, where she helps to promote sustainable innovation, and through her involvement in the Jane and Dan Olsson Foundation for Social and Scientific Purposes, Kim works to counteract social vulnerability and contribute to research.
– Social sustainability is part of Stena’s DNA. One of the cornerstones of our work is to ensure that children in our areas grow up in a safe environment with bright future prospects. In my work with people’s living environment, I am always reminded that children are our future and I am passionate about their rights to a safe childhood. I very much look forward to contributing in any way I can to Childhood’s important and courageous work for children’s rights globally, says Kim Olsson.
No compensation is paid to the members of the board.
