Sonita Lontoh: On Board Culture, Innovation, and Creative Tension

Sonita Lontoh is an independent director of Sunrun, the largest consumer solar-and-battery-as-a-service company in the U.S., and of TrueBlue, a workforce solutions company that connected ~2 million people to work in the past 3 years. Previously, she had a ~30 year executive career at the intersection of innovation, climate/sustainability and digital transformation with companies such as HP, Siemens, and PG&E, and at other venture-backed startups. We discuss the NACD Blue Ribbon Commission Report on board culture, where she served as a commissioner, the increasing politicization of the boardroom, and the impact of geopolitics in the boardroom. We also address the risks and opportunities of AI and its potential impact in the workforce.
