Independent Directors
Independent Directors for ESOP Companies
Outside experience and objective judgment for employee-owned boards.
An independent director is a board member who is not part of management and has no material family, business or financial relationship with the company. At an ESOP company, independent directors perform the normal duties of any director while bringing objectivity and experience that insider-dominated boards may lack.
What independent directors bring
- Operating experience from larger or more complex organizations
- Financial, capital-allocation and M&A expertise
- Objectivity in CEO evaluation, compensation and succession
- Constructive challenge of strategy and assumptions
- A long-term perspective on sustaining employee ownership
