Women Governance Trailblazers: Donna Anderson

As you may have seen, Donna Anderson is soon leaving her position as T. Rowe’s Global Head of Corporate Governance. Courtney Kamlet & I were lucky enough to catch up with her for the latest episode of “Women Governance Trailblazers” podcast before she moves on to her next chapter. With such a lengthy and impactful career in the corporate governance world, Donna had a lot of insights to share! In this 34-minute episode, we discussed:

1. Donna’s career path, including pivotal moments that led to her leading Corporate Governance at T. Rowe Price, and her compass for decision-making along the way.

2. What has changed the most – and what has stayed the same – over the time that Donna has been involved in the investment and corporate governance world.

3. Predictions for the future of corporate governance.

4. Donna’s favorite part of leading T. Rowe’s proxy voting and engagement process.

5. The types of ongoing engagement interactions that can help if a company is targeted by an activist.

6. Advice for the next generation of women governance trailblazers.
