“If you're an outlier, it's not a very comfortable place to be.”
This week's guest on the Boardroom Confidential podcast, powered by Sherpany, is Julie Baddeley, Chair of the Chapter Zero Alliance.
Julie has sat on boards in executive and non-executive roles for 25 years across consumer, retail, financial services, and professional services.
She shares the boardroom stories that have shaped her career, including what it was really like to be inside the boardroom of a mortgage lender as the 2008 financial crisis unfolded. How she watched complex financial instruments get waved through by people who'd been in banking for decades, and decided to push back.
She also shares the lesson she learned the hard way at a major food chain, where she pushed too early for vegetarian and healthy options, and why framing climate as business strategy, not activism, is what makes the difference.
Boardroom Confidential is brought to you by Sherpany, a leading meeting management solution, designed to meet the unique needs of the board, board committee, and executive meetings.
