Women Governance Trailblazers Podcast: Abby Adlerman

If you’re a geek for corporate governance, make sure to check out this 15-minute episode of our “Women Governance Trailblazers” podcast. Abby Adlerman joined us to discuss what’s going on in boardrooms – and how to keep up. Abby is CEO and founder of Boardspan, which provides measurement & analytics tools to boards. We discussed:

1. Abby’s career journey in corporate governance & finance – as an accomplished investment banker, e-commerce startup founder, Managing Director at Russell Reynolds, and CEO and founder of Boardspan.

2. Abby’s approach to keeping up with the dynamic corporate governance landscape, the biggest pivots that she has seen in the past few years, and what boards should be doing about AI.

3. The nature of conversations Abby has with boards, and how that has changed over time.

4. A usable framework for measuring culture at the board level.

5. What Abby thinks women in the corporate governance field can add to the current conversation on the societal role of companies.
