Back to EpisodesActivism, Elections, and Engagement: The Evolution of the Modern Corporate Director [FGS Global]
Description
How do corporate boards and individual directors maintain credibility and investor support in an era where transparency, active communication, and demonstrable value are essential?
In this episode, Doug Chia speaks with Jon Christansen and Robin Weinberg, both partners at FGS Global. They explore how the adoption of universal proxy has fundamentally changed director elections by requiring individual directors to effectively run "campaigns" for office. They also share actionable strategies for building continuous board advocacy programs, communicating board refreshment, vetting for true diversity of thought, training directors for direct shareholder engagement, and optimizing board committee structures to match evolving corporate risk profiles.
