Laporta's board appoints Joaquim Forn as new trusted executive

FC Barcelona has appointed Joaquim Forn as the new Corporate Governance executive, effective since Monday. Forn, previously a prominent politician in Catalonia, will focus on enhancing the club's management model and ensuring alignment between the board's decisions and strategic objectives. He was imprisoned following the independence movement but was released in 2021 after being pardoned. Forn has shifted from politics to his professional career, expressing a desire to adapt to normal life and prioritize family. He holds a law degree and has worked with Mediapro Group before joining the club. President Joan Laporta aims to leverage Forn's experience for the club's benefit.
