Stilpon Nestor, Chairman of Nestor Advisors: The Outsider.

Welcome to the Boardroom Governance Podcast. I’m your host, Evan Epstein. In this episode, I talk with Stilpon Nestor, the Executive Chairman of Morrow Sodali for EMEA. He is also the Executive Chairman and founder of Nestor Advisors, a company that Morrow Sodali acquired in early 2021. He has advised the boards of some of the largest companies and financial institutions in the EU and emerging markets across a variety of sectors. He supported the board evaluation of the World Bank Group in 2018 and the European Investment Bank in 2019 and has led governance assessments in large NGOs such as the Global Fund. Until March of 2002, Stilpon was the Head of the Corporate Affairs Division at the OECD, leading the team which produced the global corporate governance benchmark, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance. In this podcast, we talk about his professional career as a corporate governance advisor. We also address the debate of the purpose of the corporation, stakeholder governance, ESG and sustainability, the rise of private markets, family businesses, the conflict in Ukraine and its impact on corporate boards (in Europe and elsewhere), among other relevant corporate governance matters.
