Nichol Garzon-Mitchell: Glass Lewis and the Proxy Advisory Landscape.

In this episode, I talk with Nichol Garzon-Mitchell, a Senior Vice President and the General Counsel at Glass Lewis, one of the two major proxy advisory firms in the world. Glass Lewis covers over 30,000 meetings each year, across approximately 100 global markets. They have over 1,300 clients, including the majority of the world’s largest pension plans, mutual funds and asset managers, who collectively manage more than $40 trillion in assets. In this podcast, we discuss the history and current focus of Glass Lewis, and the evolution of corporate governance, stewardship and engagement since she first joined the firm 16 years ago. We also dive into regulatory matters involving her industry, and her general outlook towards corporate governance matters.
