A PRIVATE COMPANY SERIES PROGRAM
What does it really mean to serve as an independent director—particularly on a private equity–backed board?
This candid conversation will move beyond macroeconomic headlines to focus on the practical realities of board service. Panelists will explore how independent directors are selected, what private equity firms look for, how board dynamics evolve in PE-backed companies, and how directors can add meaningful value from day one.
Designed for current and aspiring board members, this session offers an inside look at board operations, expectations, and the nuanced role independent directors play in driving performance and governance in partnership with private equity investors.
