The Ups And Downs of Being a High-Flying CEO/Founder.

Host: Nancy May, CEO, BoardBench Companies

Guest: Mark Herschberg, the White Knight VC investor, tech/cyber expert and director.  

Have you ever seen a CEO/ founder lose control of the company that he/she started to outside investors? How often do you see pre-IPO and new public company boards fall on their faces? Or see directors paralyzed by cyber-attacks and other disasters?  In this episode of the Boardrooms’ Best, you’ll get the inside scoop on how founders can set a more solid foundation, attract benevolent investor-partners, and deal with issues like cyber-mania with a steady hand and greater balance.  

Learn:

• How to "test drive" your prospective investor.
• How not to lose control, if that's important to you.
• Why switching-out directors can be important.
• How to think about your CEO/founder contract.
• How to think differently about cyber-risks.
• To better understand the purpose of your business.
