Normally I spread out these podcast blogs, but since AI is moving at the speed of light and I am going out on a brief medical leave, I don’t want this episode to become obsolete before you see it. Check out this 17-minute episode of “Women Governance Trailblazers” – Courtney Kamlet & I interviewed Cassidy Donohue, who is Product Manager at Troop. Previously, Cassidy served as a Research Analyst for Engine No. 1 and as Lead Researcher for Accountable: The Rise of Citizen Capitalism. We discussed:

1. Cassidy’s background and career path – and what drew her to the field of corporate governance.

2. How Troop is setting out to change proxy voting through technology, including how the tools differ from traditional proxy voting recommendations and voting reports.

3. How Troop ensures that recommendations are correct.

4. Communication suggestions for companies and their advisors as investment stewardship teams enhance their use of AI to analyze proxy statements and make voting decisions.

5. Cassidy’s predictions for the fields of corporate governance and asset stewardship.

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