Podcast: Board Matters Season 4
In season 4 of Board Matters, host Steven Moe MInstD is joined by a panel of directors to unpack the big issues facing boardrooms in 2025 – from return on capital, climate as a competitive advantage, adapting rapidly to technology, the importance of a high-performing chair, and much more. All participants in Board Matters are graduates of our Advanced Directors’ Course (ADC), where experienced directors immerse themselves in cutting-edge governance.
Over five episodes, Steven will be looking at the short-term and long-term impacts for directors, and how these will inform decisions at the board table in the year ahead.

In this episode, Paul Reid MInstD discusses his experience as a chair, including the red flags, being adaptable, how listening is a superpower, and why there isn’t a single style or approach for a high-performing chair. He also shares his experience of being on the board of Pukeko Pictures and chairing a creative industry board.
Paul is a governance professional with extensive experience of scaling technology companies, expanding international business, and raising public and private capital. He has held numerous board positions across ASX & NZX-listed, private equity-backed, and Crown-owned organisations and is currently Chair of Virsae Limited, Deputy Chair of New Zealand Post Limited and a director of Christchurch International Airport Limited. He is the immediate past chair of Volpara Health Technologies, Optimal Workshop, Figured and Pukeko Pictures Limited.
