Episode 15: Boardroom diversity

Good boards need dynamism and diverse thinking to thrive. But how to get the right balance of skills around the boardroom table, especially at smaller quoted companies? Taking part in this conversation are two experienced boardroom advisers. Nina Spencer is founder and CEO of Addidat, an advisory firm which helps growing companies develop successful ESG strategies. Addidat also tracks gender diversity on AIM boards. Nina’s background is in the fintech space and asset management and she is non-executive director on two boards, including the mortgage lender LendInvest. The writer and activist Simon Fanshawe runs the consultancy Diversity by Design, offering advice and training to organisations of all sizes. The former comedian was one of the six co-founders of LGBT rights charity Stonewall. He is rector of the University of Edinburgh.

Episode 14: The Cyber Threat

It’s the boardroom worry that has vaulted up the risk register: what can company directors do to lessen the chances of a cyber attack on their business? And what steps should they take if they fall victim to one? This area is a whole new world for many non-executive directors. How do they judge whether their company is well-prepared and who can they turn to for help? Taking part in this conversation are two experts from QCA member organisations. Asam Malik leads Mazars’ technology and digital practice in the UK, providing IT advisory and assurance services to clients. He has over 20 years of experience built up across a range of industry sectors and formally worked at PwC. Stuart Jubb is group managing director at Crossword Cybersecurity, the AIM-listed cyber specialist. He joined Crossword in 2016 from KPMG where he was an associate director responsible for the defence and security industries and worked with the Ministry of Defence on large transformation programmes.

Episode 13: Public or private?

New York versus London is often the battle that dominates the capital markets conversation but the real stand-off - particularly for smaller, growing companies - is public versus private. When is the right time for founders and their key backers to go public? How can the stock market increase its appeal so that more entrepreneurs take the plunge? And what do the latest efforts to blur the divide between public and private mean for growing businesses in the future? Taking part in this conversation are two seasoned business builders. Ray Anderson has more than 30 years’ experience in starting, growing and selling businesses. He is executive chair and founder of Bango, the AIM-listed digital payments and marketing expert that connects online merchants with more paying customers. Founded in 1999, the company works with everyone from start-ups to some of the world’s largest online businesses, including Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Steve Rigby is co-chief executive of Rigby Group, one of the UK’s largest family-owned firms with annual turnover of £3.8 billion. The business comprises IT services, several tech investments and a property arm that spans regional airports, hotels, residential and commercial. Rigby is also on the board of Family Business UK and chair of the Private Business Commission, launched to investigate why many UK companies struggle to maximise their growth potential.
