Each firm will continue to provide its services independently to clients. Together, we are hosting The Conversationalist Series, roundtables on the challenges shaping boards today, from regulation to leadership pipelines.
Independent perspectives. Complementary expertise. One purpose: helping boards thrive.
Broadgate Search and Independent Audit, the specialist board advisory firm, came together once again to bring senior leaders to Euronext Dublin for the second event in The Conversationalist Series, a fireside conversation with Raj Singh exploring governance, oversight, board effectiveness, and the realities facing Boards today.
Hosted in the historic Dublin Stock Exchange, the event provided an ideal setting for both the discussion itself and the networking that followed. Bringing together experienced NEDs, INEDs, and senior executives in such a distinctive venue created the right environment for open conversation, meaningful introductions, and the kind of high-quality exchange that sits at the heart of The Conversationalist Series.
Please speak with Ben Adams to discuss your executive search requirements.
