Board of Directors
As a board member and foundation board member, I also take on formal and legal responsibility for a company’s success.
When responsibility should be shared, not just advice.
The board needs digital experience
Digital governance should be represented at the table, by someone who knows technology and organisation from practice.
A sale needs to be prepared
The path to an exit calls for responsibility on the board and experience with transactions and integrations.
A foundation seeks independent leadership
A foundation needs members who carry formal responsibility and think strategically.

How I work on the board.
Digital Governance Check
Who is responsible for what, and which risks and costs does the board actually see?
Questions before answers
I ask the questions that put decisions on solid foundations before we vote.
Independence
I bring my own perspective, without operational interests and without political weight within the organisation.
Dialogue with people
Decisions are only as good as their implementation. That is why the employees’ perspective remains part of the debate.

«Working with Michael on the board of directors is constructive and reliable. He listens, thinks along and gets to the point.»
