Following INSEAD Directors Network AGM, new committee members and ambassadors appointed
The active alumni group with international board directors that formed the INSEAD Directors Network, following their graduation of the INSEAD International Directors Program and related IDP-C certification, have just concluded their 2017 AGM.
Elected as new Chair and President of the IDN committee was Helen Pitcher, OBE, taking over from previous chair Christoper de Mattos.
Helen Pitcher, OBE, President IDN said
“Board dynamics, behaviour and conduct are under greater scrutiny than ever before. The requirement for directors to be appropriately qualified from both a skill and behavioral perspective has never been more important. INSEAD is developing an enviable cadre of suitably qualified international directors to ensure the right conduct and behaviour is prevalent in Boards throughout the globe. The International Director Network is there to foster connectivity, collaboration and continued development for the members of the network and more broadly within the INSEAD Alumni”
Previous committee members Bill Jones, Gbenga Oyebode and Rosa Villabos were recognised for their appreciated efforts and retired from the network committee.
New committee members elected were Louise Beveridge, Antonio Nieto-Rodrigues and Dominic Nixon, and re-elected members were Christopher de Mattos , Mary Francia, Alison Gaines and Michael Vareika. Remaining current committee member Liselotte Engstam will continue in the committee as previously elected.
