Building Your Board As You Scale Your Business

To provide Founders and other business leaders with some answers, Maria Josife invited two people experienced in Board roles and investing in start-up/scaling companies to share their perspectives, Jane Reddin and Mark Brooker. We share their collective thoughts on what skills and experience make a good Chair or NED, and why sometimes Founders have to ‘let go’.

• Why does the Board need expertise from outside the business?
• You’ve only got one place on the Board to fill — how do you prioritize your wish list?
• Why is experience of scaling important in your choice?
• Should a Founder be worried about relinquishing control?
• How might a Board change over time?
• How do you manage an underperforming Board member?
• How do you choose between a NED in a current role and one with more time on their hands?
• Is there a formula for getting it right?
