What does it take for corporate directors to remain effective when prior experience alone is no longer enough?


In this episode, Doug Chia speaks with Marcel Bucsescu, Vice President of Strategic Engagement at the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD). Drawing on his extensive work with Fortune 500 boards and executive leadership, Marcel discusses the shifting demands on modern directors, from AI literacy and cybersecurity oversight to real-time strategy execution and geopolitical risk. They explore how learning formats are evolving, what separates static boards from truly agile ones, and how directors can leverage emerging AI tools safely and effectively.


They also break down the mechanics of the NACD Directorship Certification program and CMU-partnered certificate courses, examining how formal credentials, ongoing education, and culture-driven onboarding shape the future of governance.
