Dan Siciliano: "Employees Are At The Heart of the Success of Modern Unicorns, More So Than Ever Before."

Welcome to the Boardroom Governance Podcast. I’m your host, Evan Epstein. In this episode, I talk with Dan Siciliano, a tech entrepreneur, corporate governance expert and former colleague from Stanford Law School. Dan is now serving as an independent director on the board of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, Chairman at the Silicon Valley Directors’ Exchange and Director of the Latino Corporate Directors Education Foundation. He’s also starting a new fintech startup, which we talk about in this episode. From 2000 to 2015, Dan was also co-founder, CEO and ultimately Executive Chairman of LawLogix Group – a global software technology company. In 2012 he sold a majority stake of the company to PNC Riverarch Capital, continued as Executive Chairman, and led the sale of the company to Hyland Software/Thoma Bravo in 2015. In this podcast, we talk about his personal and professional background, current market trends and his new fintech venture involving equity compensation for private venture-backed company employees. We also discuss regulation of private markets, venture capital in down cycles, and his relocation from California to Nevada. Finally, we talk about director evaluations and director education.
