Kari Granger, CDI.D, ACE Board Graduate, Launches Stakeholder LeadershipTM Webinar Series

Kari Granger, a November 2019 ACE, LLC graduate and CEO of The Granger Network, an executive coaching firm, launches Stakeholder LeadershipTM Webinar Series.

You are invited to subscribe to her newsletter and attend the very first webinar on the topic (check out the famous woman who is quoted on our page)!

Statement from Kari:

"My WHY is simple and is best said in a line from the elevator pitch I worked on in the ACE Board Training for Women course… “While I spend my days as a trusted advisor for CEOs and their executive teams, what keeps me up at night is the reconciliation of thriving businesses, thriving populations and a thriving environment. I believe it is the responsibility of the world’s leaders to lean in, and not shy away from some the most complex, paralyzing issues of our time.

From Larry Fink at Blackrock to Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan Chase – everyone is talking about the importance of stakeholder capitalism - organizations creating value for all of their stakeholders: employees, investors, suppliers, governments, communities, the environment and more. But talking the talk is one thing—and walking the walk is another. The high ideals of stakeholder capitalism can easily evaporate when exposed to the harsh realities of the day-to-day. The rigors of the market. The pressure of the bottom-line. The seeming ubiquity of trade-offs. For many executive teams, integration of stakeholder interests is a “nice-to-have,” but totally unpractical.

We are taking this on with two feet on the ground and creating a practical, profitable pathway to long-term value creation by addressing the fundamental cares and concerns of all stakeholders. Please join us on this webinar to discuss this important, and fairly controversial topic."

"Corporate boards and executive teams are evolving now more than ever before to be more diverse and inclusive, and now there is a rising expectation for them to add stakeholders to the mix. External pressures continue to build pressure on companies to include this group to the board rooms and executive suites. Just as in adding women and minorities to boards, executive teams and corporate boards are beginning to understand the financial and strategic imperative of getting more stakeholders to the table. Activist investors are putting pressure on companies to make these additions, because they see it as one of the important factors in sustaining long-term value creation. Implementing and integrating stakeholders in these roles, takes a specialized group of people who understand how to do this, and Kari and her team really get it. They recognize the pivotal moment we’re in as a business community, and they understand the skills and sensibilities necessary to rise to the occasion and deliver."

Rachel Goldman CDI.D appointed as CEO of Paramount Gold Nevada Mining Company

"Rachel Goldman is already rocking it since I met her last year. At that time, she had just wrapped up twenty years in the Capital markets helping to raise $100's of Millions of dollars as a financial expert, focusing on the mining sector. Rachel has extensive leadership qualities and contacts from mining and finance, so it makes sense that her vast background in those two worlds would land her in the top job of an aggressive young mining company.

From her first job through her capital markets career, she has always been a hard worker, willing to take risks and always improving the places she worked in any way she could. She is a strong believer in people and connecting them with each other to add value to both sides. Throughout her career in finance, Rachel was in leadership roles and was able to observe and interact with boards, institutional investors, stakeholders and management teams of public mining companies and she will tell you that occasionally she had to have hard conversations with investors or mining executives at times, but she did it anyway, because it needed to be done. Integrity and honesty are her strong suits that match her hard work and willingness to try something new.

I am excited to share this announcement about Rachel's' new appointment as CEO and Director for Paramount Gold Nevada Mining Company. The full press release is here."

Michele Ashby, CEO, ACE LLC

Rachel is a a graduate of the ACE Board Certification Program from the Toronto class in the Fall of 2019. Rachel Goldman’s extensive capital markets experience across a range of sectors along with first-hand exposure to the dynamics impacting public companies and their investors qualify her to be CEO of a public company, and serve on a public board, including audit and compensation committees.
