Hasse Karlsson, President and Founder of ITM Worldwide Foundation in Sweden was elected Chairman of IATTO at the Annual Meeting 2011 in Xindu, China. Hasse Karlsson worked in HR and trade training at the Swedish Trade Council for 30 years. He has also been President for EAPM (European Association for Personnel Managare) and board member for IFTDO (International Federation for Training and Development Organisations).
"My vision is that trade training organisations start working together cross border in projects sponsored by European Union, International Trade Center and other trade organisations to help small and medium-sized export companies to grow internationally. I will do my best to make this happen during my chairmanship for the next three years".
