Inside the Chair Role: Shaping Boards that Drive Growth

Inside the Chair Role: Shaping Boards that Drive Growth

An exclusive breakfast conversation for board leaders and aspiring Chairs.

Join an intimate group of Chairs, NEDs, founders, and CEOs for a candid morning discussion on the evolving role of the Chair, and what it truly means to lead from the boardroom.

Designed for both seasoned and aspiring board leaders, this event will explore the transition into the Chair role, how to support founders during scale-up and transformation, and what it takes to build a plural career across diverse boards.

Our panel brings together three highly experienced Chairs, each with deep insight into board leadership across different stages and sectors:

• Elizabetta Camilleri – Chair and investor with a track record of scaling digital businesses across Europe, Elizabetta brings a founder’s empathy and a Chair’s strategic lens to board dynamics.
• Lars Pedersen – CEO and Chair with extensive experience in venture and growth-stage businesses. Lars brings a dual perspective on what makes Chair-CEO relationships effective, and where they often go wrong.

Together, they’ll share personal reflections on stepping into their first Chair roles, navigating complex boardroom dynamics, and how the best Chairs create long-term value beyond governance.

Expect honest stories, practical tips, and plenty of room for questions and connection.
