Our CEO, Susana Sierra, Vice President of the South Florida Chapter of the Private Directors Association (PDA), co-led the masterclass “Is Your Governance Strong Enough to Survive Pressure?” alongside Mary Francia as part of PRISM 2026, PDA’s annual gathering in Atlanta.
The four-hour session brought together board directors to explore how to assess whether corporate governance works effectively in practice, beyond formal policies and procedures. Topics included board effectiveness, strategy and resilience, incentives, risk and crisis management, and compliance.
The discussion focused on how to identify red flags, understand how incentives influence behavior, and ensure that clear accountability mechanisms are in place, particularly when organizations are operating under pressure.
The masterclass emphasized that strong corporate governance is demonstrated not only by what is written in policies and procedures, but also by how decisions are made when organizations face complex situations.
