Oksana Strashna: Boards and Corporate Governance in Ukrainian SMEs - An Investor’s Perspective

Do Boards really make Ukrainian SMEs more resilient and investment-attractive? Can Supervisory and Advisory Boards become a real growth engine for SMEs - or are they just a formality?

When does an SME truly need a Board - and what mistakes should owners avoid when creating one?
