Consensus Point CEO and Zimmer Board Chair team with Corporate Board Member

[admin]

Our very own Linda Rebrovick, CEO Consensus Point, recently joined John McGoldrick, Chair, Zimmer Holdings, Inc. Board of Directors, and TK Kerstetter, President, Corporate Board Member (CBM), an NYSE Euronext company, at the New York Stock Exchange for a Corporate Board Member panel. The panel focused on Board Governance and included a distinguished audience of Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) from companies, such as KPMG and Spencer Stuart. Panelists and audience members were even surprised by a pop-in visit from Duncan Niederauer, CEO of NYSE Euronext.

TK focused on interesting and timely questions to bring valuable board insight to the CMO audience and leveraged John and Linda’s many years of Board experience in Board Governance:

John McGoldrick:
John is the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Zimmer Holdings, Inc. a healthcare company that specializes in medical appliances & equipment. He is also among the early developers of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative that has done a ton of good in Africa, and John still serves as a special advisor to that organization. Previously, he served as EVP and general counsel for the Bristol Myers Squibb Co.

Linda Rebrovick:
Linda serves on the Board and is the Chair of the Nominating and Governance committee of Healthstream, Inc., the leading provider of learning and research solutions for the healthcare industry. Linda previously held the position of Chief Marketing Officer, BearingPoint, Inc. and currently is the CEO for Consensus Point, Inc.

Panel questions on Board Governance included:

• How has the process of serving on a board changed over the last 5 years since Sarbanes Oxley has been in place, board roles are redefined, and the new era of shareholder activists and transparency in the boardroom.
• How are boards more involved today in major strategic, technological, and financial decisions?
• One of the developments over the last 5 years has also been the development of committees, where today a lot of the board work is done, and the need for specific skills and diversity of thought on boards. How do you, as Board Chair and Chair, Governance Committee, go about building the right board with the right skill sets?

Stay tuned for answers and more, coming in an exciting forum next week!
