Building governance from the ground up at early-stage companies is Jack Lazar’s specialty—and his favorite kind of challenge.

Host: Susan Paley, NACD advisor 

Guest: Jack Lazar, 2025 NACD Directorship 100™ Private Company Director of the Year and a director at Astera Labs, Box, GlobalFoundries, Resideo Technologies, and Tonal Systems
