At its annual general meeting in Helsinki, the delegates of the national Intersport organizations voted for Intersport International Corporation’s (IIC) new board of management. Rick White was re-elected as an independent IIC board member from Canada. At the same time, Corinne Gensollen (France) and Volfango Bondi (general manager of Intersport Italia since 2015) were named new members of the IIC board for a three-year term of office until 2025. Further members of the IIC board of management are Dr. Alexander von Preen (Germany) and Sami Kiiski (Finland).
Following the meeting, the IIC board of management met and appointed Gensollen as the new chair, making her the first woman to chair the IIC board of management. She has been CEO of Intersport France for more than five years. According to an Intersport release, Gensollen plans to work closely with von Preen, who has been appointed vice chairman. The duo represents the two largest IIC members, France and Germany. Gensollen commented: “In today’s challenging business environment, Intersport needs a strong leadership team further to develop the omnichannel and sustainability strategy of the group. […] We will make sure that the group will be even more consumer-focused, more vertical and more efficient.”
