Top Candidate with new vision for AEB – Jon Hellevig, Managing Partner of Awara Group

In the coming Board elections of the Association of European Business (AEB), Jon Hellevig, Managing Partner of Awara Group runs for re-election. After he has served for two years in the AEB board and got a clear insight, Jon is eager to initiate change and continue to improve the activities of the AEB.

Jon’s goals are to decrease bureaucracy in the organization and initiate more activities to engage members of the Association, organize more networking events and improve the overall quality of membership benefits for participating companies.

Also the recent changes in the world connected to the challenges for the European business community in Russia are a priority for Jon. Due to the Ukrainian crisis and the sanctions that EU and USA have announced and the prospect of ever harsher sanctions being put in place, all businesses and even personal livelihood are now potentially in danger. This is the gravest challenge all face and therefore the AEB Board needs to take active measures to counter any sanctions talk.
