Suzanne Brown: The NYSE Board Diversity Initiative.

Author: Evan Epstein September 26, 2023 Duration: 53:38
Suzanne Brown leads NYSE's effort to place more diverse candidates on corporate and private company boards. In one year, she grew the candidate network from 200 to 700 CEO-vetted, diverse candidates and has helped place close to 40 candidates on corporate boards. In this podcast, we talk about NYSE's ESG programs. We also address the ESG backlash, board dynamics (particularly generational shifts), and progress on board diversity. Further, we discuss the state of the markets and other governance trends including board evaluations and demand for directors with expertise on supply chain, cybersecurity, climate change, and more.
