In this episode we discuss the curious case of Nissan and its former Chairman, Carlos Ghosn. Key areas of the discussion includes the following:

- The background to the story of how one of the most successful and powerful CEOs of the motor industry ended up being arrested and then escaping out of Japan in a musical equipment box.

- How geopolitical events and exposures for directors are intertwined.

- What should a director expect from their D&O insurance in such an event when they have a conflict with the entity?

- What steps can directors take in advance to mitigate the impact of such an event where conflicts can arise?

- What are the corporate governance lessons that arise for corporations and individuals from this saga?
