This session will deal with four dilemmas faced by Maltese entities, especially, although not solely, by listed ones. These relate to the composition of their Boards of Directors (“Boards”). Questions will be asked such as: Are multiple directorships a boon or a bane? Is there an ideal mix of executive, non-executive and independent non-executive directors on such Boards? Which of the readily detectable aspects of diversity - such as gender, age, nationality and length of tenure- and/or of its underlying aspects - such as industry-specific, legal, accounting/finance and marketing ones - are to be prioritized for Board effectiveness? Furthermore, how are Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) expected to participate on Boards? Is it as Board members, regular participants, occasional invitees, or not at all? The session is meant to give insights on such issues based on findings derived from five recent studies published or co-published by the presenter.
