Trends in Corporate Governance
The current landscape of corporate governance reveals a concerning trend of aging board members, with a noticeable increase in directors aged 66 to 70 at S&P 500 companies. This demographic shift poses challenges, as the younger workforce who are adept in technology comprise a vanishingly small portion of board members, highlighting a gap in relevant skills. A diverse board with a mix of perspectives, including younger individuals, is crucial to navigate contemporary issues like cybersecurity and climate change. The emphasis on board members' governance roles underscores the need for those who possess both financial expertise and the ability to engage with emerging technologies.
