“CoSecs can be the ‘conscience of the company’. By leveraging my understanding of the governance frameworks, how to write a board proposal and how to engage the execs; these are the kind of skills you can use as company secretary to help your organisation be a force for good.”

“The sooner you start to think about your legacy and what you’ll be remembered for, the more likely you are to start thinking about things that have lasting impacts into the future, as opposed to short-term success and KPIs.”
