The résumé may seem very impressive…but if the conversation after 20 minutes is not ‘Wow,' you should believe the conversation, not the paper.”“I think goodness of heart is important.”Four Black women.

With Scope 3 accounting for over 90% of overall emissions, Starbucks has seen its GHG footprint grow by 7% overall since 2019.The reassessment of the goal comes as the company takes “a fresh, comprehensive look at our sustainability goals,” according to a blog post by Starbucks' Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer Kelly Goodejohn, as part of the company's ‘Back to Starbucks' strategy initiated by CEO Brain Niccol. From the Impact Report:Overall Grants from the Starbucks FoundationFY25 $13.6M ($31M)FY24 $21.4M ($96M)Delaware Court of Chancery Interprets New Section 144 and Applies Heightened Presumption of Director IndependenceThe Opinion arose in a common context in Delaware stockholder litigation: claims over director and management compensation. In the decision, Vice Chancellor Lori W. Will applied, for the first time, the statute's heightened presumption of independence for directors of public companies determined by the board to be independent under the relevant NYSE or Nasdaq listing standards to dismiss derivative claims on demand futility grounds.In conducting the demand futility analysis, which looks to whether a majority of the board can independently consider a stockholder demand to bring derivative litigation, the Court reasoned that the new statutory language requiring a plaintiff to plead “substantial and particularized facts” to rebut the “heightened” presumption of independence sets a higher bar than under pre-existing law. Specifically, the Court held that the addition of “substantial” to the existing standard that already required particularized facts meant that “a plaintiff must plead specific, non-conclusory facts of sufficient qualitative significance to support a reasonable inference of a material interest or relationship that would impair the director's objective judgment.” The Court was clear that it is not a matter of quantity but rather quality, observing that “a collection of trivial facts” will not rise to the level of materiality required to satisfy this “heightened” standard. Applying that standard to the facts in the case, the Court concluded that the plaintiff's allegations of various overlapping board positions, overlapping investments, and other “business ties” with the company's founder and non-executive chairman were not sufficiently material.DR2The Boardroom Buy-InThe Taser CEO Who Says AI Is the Future of PolicingTaser and body-cam king Rick Smith is betting Axon's dominance—and his own pay package—on his tech-driven vision66% influenceRick Smith: Every 30 seconds one of his Tasers is fired by somebody in the U.S., usually a police officer.The pay package he and his board put together catapulted him to the top of last year's list of the highest-paid CEOs, with a compensation package valued at $164.4 million.33% no 2025; 10% no 2026Smith has already hit three of seven goals.

The Kyoto-based gaming giant has recently announced a 10% increase to base salaries for its employees, a move that highlights its commitment to talent retention while everyone else is laying off employees.Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa made the announcement during a recent shareholder meeting, emphasising that maintaining competitive compensation is central to the company's strategy. The raise applies to the company's workforce, which has grown to over 8,200 employees, the highest headcount in Nintendo's history.IN: CEO Shuntaro Furukawa's (18%) annual executive compensation at Nintendo generally totals around $2.5MOUT: 63% of shares held by institutional investors.

The department issued a technical release in April warning that proxy advisory firms may be subject to ERISA fiduciary standards and that proxy voting is a fiduciary act under the law that must be carried out “for the exclusive purpose of maximizing risk-adjusted return.”From the technical release in April: The Department has long recognized that voting rights and other shareholder rights attributable to shares held by ERISA-governed employee benefit plans are plan assets in their own right. Accordingly, management of those rights is subject to ERISA's fiduciary duties, including the duties of prudence and loyalty. The Department first issued guidance on this topic in the 1980s. For example, a 1988 letter (Avon Letter) noted that “it is the Department's position that the decision as to how proxies should be voted . . . are fiduciary acts of plan asset management.”(2)Proxy advisory firms may also be functional fiduciaries under ERISA section 3(21)(A)(ii) by providing investment advice for a fee to plans with respect to property of that plan.Here's why it's interesting:Defining fiduciaries as those who provide advice for a fee means everyone selling research is a fiduciary if the research is used in an investment decisionThe DOL is squarely defining proxy voting as a fiduciary act - which means that there can be no rational apathy as Mike Levin likes to talk about - if voting your proxies is definitionally your fiduciary duty, you can't defer it or ignore itIf you vote 99% in favor of management, you definitionally are ignoring your fiduciary duty - half of companies will underperform some peer set, meaning they produced fewer returns than peers, in any given year. So you either set the time frame longer (thus forcing the inclusion of long term data like climate and social factors) and say that in any one year it makes sense to vote with management to allow them time to execute strategy, OR you should be voting against nearly half of management proposals for underperformers each year because they are not producing pecuniary returnsGovernance chairs remain under pressure as investor scrutiny rises despite rising support for directors, research showsISS found that the MEDIAN support for directors has hit 98%They found that governance/nom chairs (those are specifically governance/nom committee chairs) had median support of 94.1%Pay chairs had 96.9% supportMM2The Boardroom Buy-InJPMorgan built a pipeline of female CEO candidates that was the envy of Wall Street.

The Best One Yet

We sit down with Mickey Drexler — the retail legend who built the modern American wardrobe. Over an 18-year run he grew Gap from $400 million to $14 billion in sales, founded Old Navy and turned it into the fastest brand ever to hit $1 billion, personally bought the Madewell name for $125,000, and later ran J.Crew. Steve Jobs put him on Apple's board, where he helped design the Apple Store — and then called him the night before Gap fired him with one day's notice. Today he's chairman of Alex Mill, the brand founded by his son.Mickey opens up about his cameo on Breaking Bad, why Jackie Kennedy was his muse at Ann Taylor, the Paris moment that gave Old Navy its name, why Gap Kids was a mistake, the loudspeaker he installed at J.Crew headquarters, and why he thinks AI will never replace human taste. He also explains the one thing he says he'll never stop doing — and the rule he lives by that made khakis cooler than jeans. Plus: his pick for the best fashion brand he never worked for, and the advice he'd give anyone going into business with family.CHAPTERS:0:00 - Intro: Mickey Drexler on Building Gap, Old Navy & J.Crew1:38 - Mickey Drexler's Breaking Bad Cameo, Explained4:47 - Mickey Drexler, Ralph Lauren & Calvin Klein: The Bronx Fashion Story11:51 - Mickey Drexler at Ann Taylor & His Jackie Kennedy Muse14:09 - How Mickey Drexler Turned Gap From $400M Into $14B23:33 - Why Mickey Drexler Says Gap Kids Was a Mistake25:41 - How Old Navy Got Its Name & Took On Target37:45 - How Mickey Drexler Bought Madewell's Name for $125,00041:29 - Mickey Drexler & Steve Jobs: Designing the Apple Store48:05 - How Steve Jobs Warned Mickey Drexler He'd Be Fired From Gap49:27 - Mickey Drexler on Running J.Crew & Being a Micromanager54:45 - Old Navy's American Flag T-Shirt & the Business of American Style58:42 - Mickey Drexler on Why Fashion, Food & Fitness Live on Fads1:04:08 - Mickey Drexler: Why AI Can't Replace Human Taste1:06:19 - Mickey Drexler on Alex Mill & Working With His Son1:07:29 - Rapid Fire: TJ Maxx, Best Business Book & Timeless Style1:10:52 - Mickey Drexler's Takeaway on American Fashion Hosted on Acast.

Luca is the host of Luca's Insight Track, one of the leading podcasts in the UAE, and a public speaking coach who works with executives, founders, and corporate leaders across the region. After two decades in the corporate world — culminating in a CEO role at a major media agency — he made the bold leap to walk away at the height of his career, choosing authenticity over title and freedom over comfort. He now dedicates his work to helping people unlock their genuine voice in an age where AI and overproduction have made real human connection more valuable than ever. Luca speaks openly about the inner work behind reinvention, drawing on his own journey through clinical depression, deep self-doubt, and rediscovering identity after stepping away from a defining career. With roots between Lebanon, Italy, the UK, Nigeria, and Dubai, and a childhood shaped by boarding school and abandonment, he brings a refreshingly honest perspective on vulnerability, masculinity, and mental health — particularly within Middle Eastern culture, where therapy and emotional openness are still often taboo. He empowers his audience to embrace their authentic selves, build meaningful personal brands, and find the courage to live a life that aligns with who they truly are, not who the world told them to be.#hikmatwehbipodcast #podcast#english_podcast #Luca_Allam#Luca's_Insight_Track#wstudiodxbحكمت_وهبي#حكمت_وهبي_بودكاست#

In this episode, I sit down with Uri Levine - serial entrepreneur, investor, and co-founder of Waze, one of the most successful navigation apps ever built.Uri has spent the last two decades building and investing in startups, and in this conversation, he shares the hard truths behind startup success and failure.We explore what it really means to fall in love with the problem rather than the solution, why product-market fit is the single most important milestone in a startup's life, and why most startups fail long before anyone ever hears about them.Uri also shares his perspective on how founders should think about focus, iteration, failure, fundraising, storytelling, and team building. Along the way, he offers very candid advice about how startups actually work - and why so many founders waste time chasing ideas instead of solving meaningful problems.This conversation is both practical and brutally honest, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the mindset and discipline required to build a successful company.Enjoy!

Vandaag spreken we met Peter Vandekerckhove, voormalig CEO retail private en ondernemersbankieren bij BNP Paribas en actief bestuurder in de bancaire & industriële sector, over de evolutie en fragiliteit van het financiële systeem.We starten bij shadow banking en de verschuiving van klassieke banken naar minder gereguleerde spelers zoals private equity, hedge funds en verzekeraars. Van daaruit verkennen we hoe kapitaalstromen en risico's zich hebben verplaatst, en hoe een steeds groter deel van het financiële systeem zich buiten het zicht van traditionele regulering bevindt.We gaan dieper in op de spanningen tussen regulering en vrijheid, de rol van centrale banken en de vraag in welke mate technocratie te verkiezen is boven democratische besluitvorming. Uiteindelijk komen we uit bij de onderlinge verwevenheid van het systeem, waar risico's zich opstapelen en moeilijk te doorgronden zijn, met een fragiel geheel als gevolg. We eindigen met de vraag hoe robuust dit systeem vandaag nog werkelijk is. Enjoy!PS.

What happens when AI agents — not humans — become your primary customer? That's not a hypothetical. It's already happening, and the founders who recognize it earliest are rebuilding their entire infrastructure stacks from scratch. In this live episode of Founded & Funded from our IA Summit in Seattle, Madrona Venture Partner Jon Turow sits down with Parag Agrawal, former CEO of Twitter and founder of Parallel Web Systems, and Nikita Shamgunov, who led Neon through a rapid AI pivot before its acquisition by Databricks. What they cover: Why Parag is building a new search index from the ground up — and why existing ones weren't designed for AI agents The moment Nikita realized Replit agents were spinning up databases 4x faster than all human developers combined — and what that forced him to do How to pivot an established company in weeks, not months, when your customer base suddenly changes The "pagers vs. iPhones" framework for knowing when to lean into disruption vs. protect what you have Parag's two-person hiring rubric for teams operating in deep uncertainty Why Nikita added the head of product for ChatGPT to Neon's board — and what that signaled to the market The "two-way door" model for giving agents real autonomy without catastrophic downside Whether you're building infrastructure, running an AI-native startup, or trying to figure out where your product fits in an agent-first world — this conversation will sharpen your thinking.

Why 90%+ Fashion Brands Don't SurviveIt's not lack of creativity.It's weak fundamentals, poor unit economics, short-term thinking, and ignoring consumer evolution. How the Fashion Industry Is EvolvingFrom “more, faster, cheaper” to purpose, profitability, and responsibility.The future belongs to brands that build systems, not just styles. What is Virgio — and Why It's More Than a Fashion BrandVirgio is a strong example of how conscious fashion can be built without compromising on scale, design, or business viability. Role of Businesses in Building Conscious BrandsSustainability isn't a marketing campaign.It's a leadership decision—embedded in sourcing, operations, pricing, and culture. The Shift in Consumer BehaviourToday's consumers are asking:Where was this made?Who made it?Why does this brand exist? How to Survive & Thrive in the New Business of FashionThe answer lies at the intersection of:Clarity of purpose + strong business fundamentals + deep consumer understandingThis episode is a must-watch/listen for:️ Fashion founders️ Brand builders️ Operators️ Anyone looking to build a future-ready fashion business Watch the full episode here: [Add link]Would love to hear your thoughts—Do you think fashion is finally moving from fast to conscious?

Like when she proposed to the then CRISIL CEO to create the Chief Ratings Officer role and pitched herself for it. She got the role, which set her on the path to becoming CEO.

Former Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger has secured $110 million to develop "Christian AI" through his company, GLUE, hoping to accelerate the second coming of Christ with server farms instead of faith. The panel dissects this brazen attempt to hardwire theology into technology, arguing that this is merely lobbying with excessive tech money and a dangerous act of desperation. We explore how faith-driven AI restricts knowledge, shapes minds, and threatens secular democracy by pushing public policy further toward a costly and contradictory theocracy. Will a new algorithm erase millennia of biblical contradictions? We doubt it.News Source:Patrick Gelsinger Christian AIBy Adam Willems for The GuardianOctober 28th, 2025

How do the best CEOs think, prepare, and leave a lasting legacy? Shiv Shivakumar, former CEO of PepsiCo and Nokia reflects on decades of leading some of the most iconic companies. He shares insights on what makes a great leader, from the mindset required to the qualities that define people with a fighter's instinct.Shiv explains why commitment and curiosity often matter more than degrees or pedigrees, and why only about 7% of those who aspire to be CEOs actually become one. He also discusses how to navigate co-founder disagreements, knowing when a company needs you, and how to hire the right people for lasting impact.Through stories from his own journey leading companies across sectors, Shiv highlights why unit economics, honest market sizing, and investing in innovation rather than cutting prices are critical for founders. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding culture, asking the right questions, and building trust in shaping a company's success.Whether you are an aspiring founder, a manager, or simply curious about how leadership works in practice, this conversation with one of India's most experienced CEOs is for you.0:00 – Trailer0:55 – 3 qualities of people with a fighter's instinct2:40 – The biggest sin of a CEO: Past forward5:51 – How a CEO of 20 years prepare using data?7:56 – Why the information pyramid today is upside down8:55 – If it doesn't surprise competition, it's waste of time9:53 – The art of asking great questions10:28 – Brands shouldn't age: keep your core, but stay relevant12:28 – Why Shiv calls himself a Brand person?13:40 – Rich buy brands for vanity, poor for security15:03 – Manyavar: Nationalism reflected in buying choices17:15 – The Suta story18:10 – Clothing Industry is waiting for innovations19:28 – Brand person vs. Manufacturing person21:27 – Why only 7% become CEOs23:08 – CEOs Shiv admires23:47 – Be the best prepared person in any room24:09 – Always stress-test your assumptions25:04 – Sending letters to great professors of the 90s29:32 – Opportunities in India vs. abroad36:59 – Understand culture before joining any company40:11 – What young people should expect from work?41:04 – People who leave a legacy42:49 – How to hire the right people?45:43 – Be a full-number, not decimal-point manager46:25 – Never hire for degree or background48:54 – Building relationships for the company's interest51:07 – How co-founders should handle disagreements?52:56 – Be honest about your addressable market54:00 – Founders overestimate idea, underestimate rigour54:30 – ID Fresh: Founder & Opportunity57:06 – The business model in publishing needs to change58:58 – Is ghostwriting alright?1:02:00 – The old model of distribution: Nokia Story1:04:09 – Why CEOs should work across industries?1:09:12 – When you need the company vs. when it needs you1:15:31 – Future hiring: soft skills first, train hard skills-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Hear from Rowan Douglas CBE, CEO of Climate Risk and Resilience at Howden Group, as we explore the vital role of insurance in the climate transition. When we talk about climate resilience, insurance often flies under the radar. But it's one of the oldest and most powerful tools we have for managing risk: pooling resources, spreading losses, and crucially, sending signals about where risk is growing too great to bear. That's why in this episode, we explore the vital and evolving role of insurance in supporting climate resilience. We discuss: How insurance acts as both a safety net for businesses and communities, and a driver of risk reduction and adaptation; The concept of “insurability,” and what it reveals about our growing exposure to climate risk; and How these dynamics are playing out in the real world, through a case study of climate risks facing Europe's agricultural sector.
