Corporate Boards

Just like the title says, today’s episode is about corporate boards and … get this … corporate board failure. Fancy that: truth in advertising. Corporate board failure. Is it possible? What do boards do, after all? If their mission is to rubber stamp the CEO, that leaves a big margin for error. You’d practically have to have sat on the board of directors to Theranos to run into trouble. Oh wait, we forgot. They didn’t get into trouble either. But, some boards do. As the Financial Times points out, boards of Google, Wynn Casinos, Signet Jewelers, Marriott and Wells Fargo have all been sued, whether in connection with failures against their charges for harassment, security breaches, or otherwise. Believe it or not, there are standards, even for corporate boards. Join the team from Failure - the Podcast as they explore the duties and failings of corporate boards with Joseph Ayoub, of Varuna Strategies. Like Ben Solo née Kylo Ren’s return from the dark side in the latest of the Star Wars saga, Joseph is a litigator turned corporate consultant, specializing in forming and fixing corporate boards.
