My focus and expertise
Over five decades in global boardrooms and governance education, I’ve confronted the questions most directors won’t ask, as well as the ones the best boards won’t ignore. This page describes how my advisory services bring insight into governance agendas.
Board briefings
Boards face a tidal wave of change: regulation, AI, stakeholder expectations, sustainability, and more. I can provide focused sessions, often in collaboration with an elite subject matter expert, that orients directors on the shifts that matter, and map their implications for oversight and value-added performance.
Board evaluations
A board isn’t effective because it meets often. It’s effective when it thinks, decides and governs well. My evaluations diagnose your board’s effectiveness across three dimensions: the people, the work and the alignment between board and management.
For your library
My goal is to make governance clearer, more human, and more useful. These latest and upcoming booklets distill the lessons I’ve gathered over a lifetime in the boardroom, not as theory, but as lived experience.

Board chair advisory
The role of Chair is pivotal. I work directly with Chairs to refine governance architecture and enhance board performance.
Keynote lectures
I will bring well-researched, well-rehearsed and entertaining global insights to your next big event as a keynote speaker.
Why it matters
Strong boards create value that lasts.
Leadership in the boardroom requires more than oversight—it demands judgment, context and foresight.
I believe governance is a discipline of continuous learning, adaptation and integrity.If you’re committed to boards that don’t merely comply, but contribute. This is where we begin.
Let’s explore how your board can better govern, steer, and succeed.
