CEO-board misalignment can undermine performance, damage reputation and derail strategic direction.
Join us for a compelling exploration of the high-stakes dynamics between CEOs and Boards—and what happens when alignment falters. Featuring expert insights from Andrea Twaddle, Director at DTI Lawyers, and Senga Allen, Managing Director of Everest People, this event dives into the legal and governance complexities that surface when relationships strain. Through real-world case studies, we’ll unpack the risks and ramifications of performance management missteps, no-fault terminations, and reinstatement claims. More than just legal implications, we’ll explore the profound ripple effects on culture, leadership stability, and organisational reputation.
Whether you're a Board member, CEO, or executive leader, this session offers essential strategies for navigating challenging transitions with clarity, compliance, and confidence.
MInstD
As Founder and Managing Director of Everest, I have worked in the people and culture industry for nearly 30 years. Having practiced in private and public sector organisations across New Zealand, I enjoy using my expertise to lift performance and provide practical solutions for businesses.
I firmly believe that business excellence comes from excellence in leadership. I regularly work closely with executives and managers to diagnose performance gaps and develop strategies to improve productivity. Being an advocate of promoting clarity and accountability in businesses I can quickly identify ways to increase profitability through the better use of their teams.
My career pathway has included administration, training, consultancy, management and senior executive roles in human resources. I am a professional member of HRINZ, a member of the Institute of Directors and RCSA. I hold qualifications in psychometric profiling, emotional intelligence and business.
