Mastering the art of Board Services Management has been an extraordinary journey for me over the past 30+ years. I've sat on both sides of the Board of Directors fence, working alongside C-suite Executives and Board Directors in public and private corporations and NFPs as a highly respected Board Services Manager. Consumer products, life insurance, publishing, child academic support, women's crisis outreach, and developmental disabilities. I've learned so much about people and the world around me through these valuable experiences.
What I know for sure, is that dozens of crucial oversight elements must be addressed and managed to ensure organizations succeed in today’s harsh economic climate. Global corporate governance trends show that Independent Directors experience higher and higher levels of scrutiny around their accountabilities and roles in society each passing year. Investors and regulators have increased their expectations around the Board of Directors' oversight of corporate financial risks, transparency, cyber security, remuneration, diversity, culture; the list goes on and on. This means that prudent management of often complex operational administration, stakeholder communications, and reporting standards is essential.
Liaising between the Board and Management over the years has helped me cultivate a disciplined approach to balancing all aspects of stakeholder interests, as well as developing, implementing, and managing company governance reporting standards and methodologies.
For me, working with boards and delivering high-quality governance administration wasn’t always easy. Many times, I overcame hurdles through my own sheer ambition, tenacity, and perseverance, because there simply wasn’t a playbook available to follow. Each step of the way, those challenges became opportunities for me to develop successful strategies, skills, tools, and processes. Top C-suite administrators, Corporate Secretaries, and governance professionals that can manage, deliver, and actively participate in Board and Committee meetings are highly sought after in ALL industries - WORLDWIDE!
I’m passionate about providing support, mentorship, and encouragement to my peers, emerging governance administration professionals, and the administrative community at large, to be confident, effective, and valued accountability partners to their Board and Executive Management team. My aim is to share my hard-earned knowledge and help bring meaning and purpose to their professional journey, showing how to drive success with proven processes that can be implemented over and over again.
