And if you create this circular relationship where every individual that you deal with benefits wherever they sit on that circle,  think you provide a full service offering, which as a consultant is all I wanna do.” You've gotta be bright. You've gotta be numerate. You've gotta be analytical. You've gotta be independent of thought. You've gotta be robust in terms of your personality because you won't always be popular. “Work out where you want to get to, and then understand the experience you need to get there. Work out the roles that give you that experience, work out how long you need to do them for,  work that backwards to where you are now. If you are on that path, you're heading in the right direction, keep going. But if you are not on that path then, first and foremost, go and talk internally to your boss and your HR partner and say, I wanna get there, I'm currently here, I can't get those two paths to link up which means I've gotta do something different, help me. And if you can't get help that way, because you will always do better internally because you've got your career, your reputation, your network, your knowledge to exploit to get the move you want; if you can't do that internally, then start thinking about how you do that externally.”--------Timestamp Topics:01:48 Mark's role as a CFO headhunter04:53 Getting started at Odgers Berndtson11:24 The evolving role the CFO18:48 The process of becoming a CFO29:37 Defining the current market for CFO roles40:06 Advice for aspiring CFOs--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

I met my podcast partner for this episode when conducting a board evaluation for a growth company in the Financial Services sector. What struck me was the positive view everyone on the board had about the way the board works together. We have detailed benchmark data, and also, when we compared this board with others, it came out as one that is performing better. So, I immediately thought that I must invite the Chair, Peter Herbert.  So here we are. Peter is a Non-Executive Director and Adviser with an impressive Executive career. He is chairing the Board of Bank of Ireland (UK) plc and Zopa Bank, the banking subsidiary of Zopa Group, where he also sits on the Group Board. He is also a Non-Executive Director of WiZink Bank, where he chairs the Appointments & Remuneration Committee.  Previously he was a Non-Executive Director and then Chief Executive Officer of Tandem. “Being an effective board is a team game”Peter emphasises the importance of teamwork on a board, stating how there is no room for ego or disruptive behaviour.  However, this is not the same as a ‘groupthink' approach or not challenging other board members when necessary.  He feels that as a “conductor” of the board, a Chair is responsible for a board focusing on shared goals, as well as ensuring board processes run smoothly and effectively and as a collective is greater than the sum of its parts.“Who isn't motivated by building a successful business?”Peter believes that working with growth businesses is both fun and motivating. Still, he cautions about managing growth, especially where these businesses have private equity investors, who can be demanding owners. He highlights the need to get to know board colleagues as individuals, looking at what works and what needs to change, and in the case of a growth business drawing up a “prioritised development plan”.Peter says that the role and purpose of a board are to ensure there is the right vision, purpose, strategy, and culture as well as the right resources and governance to achieve them.  From a board point of view, the nature of each of those components is likely to be different in a growth or restructuring business, but in both cases, the same components are necessary.“Being a good board colleague is the key thing”Peter emphasises the importance of being a good board colleague, which involves listening carefully, constructively putting your point across, building good relationships with your stakeholders, and not making assumptions. “A good Company Secretary and their team are worth their weight in gold”Peter feels that a Company Secretary and their team are worth their weight in gold and that frequent and open dialogue with them is vital, stating how they can spot potential pitfalls, going through meeting agendas, and producing concise, accurate meeting minutes that can be very important, especially in a regulated business.  “Oversight of the effective execution and implementation of strategy is also a key role of the board”Peter describes that most businesses have periodic strategy sessions because strategy isn't a static topic. He believes that one way to address this point is also to have a standing strategy item on every board agenda, where the board can discuss such matters on a regular basis. The three top takeaways are:1.      Boards should not overcomplicate their role2.     Working as a chair can be daunting and hard work, but also fun3.     There is no silver bullet- boards need to have the right people, work together, and have supportive, effective processes to make the board function effectively

Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the chairman of Saudi oil producer Aramco and the Governor of that country's sovereign wealth fund, was appointed an independent director on the board of Reliance Industries on July 19 for a period of three years. The appointment has now come up for shareholder vote and the voting process will end on October 19. Based on the recommendations of influential American proxy advisory company Glass Lewis, the California State Teachers Retirement System (CALSTRS) has decided to vote against Al-Rumayyan's appointment.  CalSTRS is the largest educator-only pension fund in the world, and the second-largest pension fund in the US, with about $318.4 billion worth of assets under management.  As of June last year, CALSTRS held 5.3 million fully and partly paid shares of Reliance. This holding is valued at $179 million today. The fund has cited potential conflict of interest, as Reliance plans to sell a 20% stake in its oil-to-chemicals business for $15 billion to Aramco, where Al-Rumayyan is the chairman. The deal was supposed to close by March 2020 but it got delayed. It is in its final stages at present. Given his connection with the Saudi government and the proposed business relationship with Reliance, proxy advisors Glass Lewis said it did not consider Al-Rumayyan as being independent at this time.   In fact, it is not just CALSTRS which is opposed to the appointment. The Florida State Board of Administration, which manages $245 billion, is also against it.  Further, Saudi sovereign wealth fund headed by Al-Rumayyan has already invested $1.3 billion in Reliance Retail Ventures and $1.49 billion in Jio Platforms. Reliance Retail Ventures is a Reliance Industries subsidiary that owns the group's retail businesses, while Jio Platforms is Reliance's digital services unit. In a communication to proxy advisory firms, Reliance strongly defended its move, saying Al-Rumayyan's appointment had no connection with its proposed deal with Aramco. Further, the O2C business was being spun off into a subsidiary which might have nominees from Aramco. Reliance also said its Human Resources Nomination and Remuneration Committee, which had four independent directors in its total strength of five, unanimously recommended his appointment, given his versatile experience. The Mukesh Ambani-led company has so far not addressed the concerns around Al-Rumayyan's connection with the Public Investment Fund, which has investments in Reliance's subsidiaries. Now the question that remains is whether the investors will be satisfied with Reliance's justification, or will they force India's most valuable company to reverse the appointment of Al-Rumayyan. Let's wait and see.

Social studies provide clear evidence that more diverse boards are more effective. Organisations that are governed by more diverse boards are less likely to get embroiled in scandals and are financially more successful. The business case is very clear and yet diversity is all but the start. What counts is the integration of people in the boardroom of different gender, different race, different colour, different religion and different background. Welcome to the Better Boards podcast series. In this episode, I am delighted to talk with Yetunde Hofmann about Post-pandemic challenges: Integration – the elephant in the boardroom?I am Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner of Better Boards. We make the boards of the most ambitious organisations more effective. Our mission at Better Boards is to contribute to creating better boards.
