Welcome to the Boardroom Governance Podcast. I’m your host, Evan Epstein. In this episode, I talk with Anne Sheehan, former Director of Corporate Governance at The California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS). She currently serves as a board member of Victoria’s Secret & Co and Cohn Robbins Holdings Corp (a SPAC). She’s also a Senior Advisor at PJT Camberview. Anne served as the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Investor Advisory Committee from 2012 to 2020. She’s also a founder of the Investor Stewardship Group and serves on the Advisory Board of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. In this podcast, we talk about: • The evolution of #sustainability and #ESG investing. • The politicization of the boardroom. • The evolution and governance of SPACs. • The rise of shareholder engagements. • The new SEC climate disclosure regime. • Boardroom #diversity (post SB-826 and AB-979) • Private company governance and the rise of private markets. • Navigating down cycles and/or recessions.
