Launching my blog on corporate governance

Welcome,

After a decade working in corporate governance, including 7 years at Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) advising the firm's clients, I'm starting this blog to share my expertise and insights on the subject.  The objectives are to keep decision-makers apprised of pertinent developments in the field and to help discern trends and anticipate changes in corporate governance driven by the forces of the political economy.  Bringing to bear my background in corporate finance and financial analysis, a complementary aim is to explore the impact of corporate governance policies and procedures on the various stakeholders in corporate America and other major markets.

Coming on the heels of the hurried and harried proxy season, the summer months are typically a welcome respite for the diverse and dispersed corporate governance community.  Nevertheless, I decided to launch now - albeit posting at a measured pace - because corporate governance, particularly in regard to the divergence between executive and rank-and-file employee compensation purportedly exacerbating income inequality, is a hot topic on the presidential campaign trail.

And as for the eponymous masthead of this blog, it's meant to convey continuously striving for sustainable and supportable corporate governance policies and practices that will hold up in today's dynamic environment.

I hope you find the news, analysis and commentary valuable and useful input for navigating the increasingly challenging corporate governance terrain.  Your feedback is most welcome.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!

Robert Stead
