Join BDO's Center for Corporate Governance Amy Rojik as she sits down with Sarah Feingold, Co-Founder of The Fourth Floor to discuss corporate governance considerations in the start-up world and what has driven her passion for helping connect diverse individuals to the boardroom.

Key Takeaways:

  • Never too early for good governance: Can be the “rocket fuel” for a company’s trajectory
  • A diverse board is a powerful board and skillset needs continue to evolve in the boardroom to help companies build, broaden their network and scale the business
  • Boards are NOT one-size fits all: As a prospective board member, “aim your arrow” – align your own subject matter expertise and experience with a network and a focus on specific companies that will benefit from your knowledge and add to your personal growth
  • Value: Start-up opportunities can be incredible learning opportunities, may lead to equity, expanded networking, and a path to additional board/career roles
