Beyond her executive experience, Mathilda has served on the boards of organizations like the Microinsurance Network and Azuri Technologies, a renewable energy firm working to bring solar solutions to Africa. She has earned recognition as one of the top 50 female entrepreneurs to watch and among the top 10 future women leaders in Sweden.
