Overview

Join Nexia New Zealand Partner and Director, Jane Jackman CMInstD, as she shares insights from over 25 years in governance, from her early experience with a small local non-profit rest home and hospital, to leading global boards. Jane will explore the Chair/CEO dynamic, and the tough decisions required to drive growth, including knowing when to challenge the CEO, putting the right board in place, and making tough calls to enable transformation.
