You’ve seen the headlines and heard the stories. In today’s market, founders and CEOs inexperienced in corporate governance practices may have big problems headed their way.
Join this live panel organized by Foley & Lardner LLP in partnership with Firstboard.io, “Avoiding the Wild Wild West Perception of Silicon Valley in the Boardroom” featuring insights from our friends at PwC, The Tech Interactive, QFE, and Okta.
Scaling isn’t the only objective for business leaders. Join us to learn what to look for when selecting your next board members and advisers — plus the skillsets they need to help you achieve your fiduciary responsibilities.
We’ll also cover:
- Why independent directors at the earlier stages are important;
- What makes a top board candidate;
- How you can adapt to emerging changes in cybersecurity, digital transformation, and the regulatory landscape; and
