CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The leading tracker of news, trends, and analysis of issues impacting private and family-owned boardrooms – Private Company Director magazine – has named Lisa McClung in its annual selection of directors to watch.
Private Company Director cites McClung and her fellow honorees for having the right balance of skills and experience to focus on an organization’s “tone at the top” around company culture and relationships.
“Directors today are asked to bring a lot more to the board table than the ability to read a balance sheet,” according to Private Company Director, in an article describing its new class of directors to watch. “Culture is the keystone of a successful company and it’s clear, “tone at the top” includes board leadership. This year’s class of directors to watch brings the “soft skills” necessary in the age of ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues.”
McClung has expertise in value generation via market disruption, digital transformation and innovation. She has served on seven private company boards in a range of industries, including as lead director of Chicago Scenic Studios is a $30 million innovator of scenic fabrication solutions for corporate events, branded environments, trade shows, pop-up stores, and fan experiences. She also was a board adviser to NuSeed, a biotechnology innovation subsidiary of a $4 billion publicly traded Australian company.
