President Martti Ahtisaari served as board chair in 1986-88 and was otherwise an important supporter for the company in the 1980s and 1990s. His legacy shows the importance of developing countries’ role in building global well-being, sustainable growth, and conflict resolution. According to Ahtisaari, jobs especially for young people are the best development aid and play a key role in conflict resolution. His legacy will live on. Rest in peace.
